[bluefury361]

Bryan, aka barnfind, did a restro on my 1961 license plate for me. Looks great!
It will be a nice detail item on my 61 Fury.

I have 1978 Maryland plates on both of my Formals.

Nice YOM plate restoration.

Which reminds me I have a '58 Belgian Congo license plate I want to restore (yellow over blue). The problem I have is that there is a lot of mounting holes that were drilled (3 or 4 different sets). How can I fill those holes ?

Man I miss two tone plates. That's super beautiful.
I managed to wrangle two 67 plates in really good condition for my Monaco. CTs process for YOM plates (like everything in CT) is a terrible mess but worth it esp once I have a straight bumper.

AL allow registration using YOM plates?

Yes, permanent registration for $21.00

Year Of Manufacture....

California added the Black 63-69 plates to the YOM program here about 2006. In California you can have a 63-69 Black plate still on a car and not pay the extra $10 YOM fee...

Or you can pay the fee and look cool...

Unless you look at the registration you cannot tell, they even require you to have the correct year tab on the plate when you get them added. On all the pre 63 plates they give you a tin flag to put your stickers on, with the 63-69 plates everybody just puts the stickers over the old ones (although you are suppose to use the tin flags).

I can do YOM plates here, but I decided not to. The gendarmes in the next town over from me aren't the sharpest tools in the shed and would most likely pull me over and ticket me. Yes, that all would be bogus and yes, the charge would get tossed out in court. Complicating things are the 1965 plate (for my Barracuda) would be a single plate with 1964 embossed and a red sticker for 1965. Guaranteed I would get stopped for no front plate and then the YOM would get questioned. Any other police agency in the area would probably not have a problem.

One thing NYS did too was to have the code of your county as the prefix of the plate number. I see a lot of YOM plates that really aren't correct as they have another county's code on them. Most don't noticed or even know the difference, but if you are going to be "correct", you should take it all the way.

I opted for personalized plates instead. RAGTP300 for the 300 and FASTBAK for the Barracuda.

All the above said, the 1965 plates are pretty cool.

Up here in the frozen wasteland we can do it, but only attached to registrations of antique plates.

I've got 1966 plates on both my '66 cars...in fact, one on the Coronet is two letters plus "66". Found that one at a swap meet in Germany in 1991, paid just 5DM for it - about $3.00 USD at the time. Before that Euro crap.

not only county codes, but codes for nearly everything from magistrates to official ( county ambulance,fire, police etc.) . strangely enough you could even get your ham radio call number as a plate. the variations of codes are quite interesting if you are into that type of thing.

Yes, I remember seeing a lot of the codes. In the eighties, all the rental cars still had "Z" as a prefix on their plates. That changed when rental cars started to become targets for crime in other states.

For a while, you would even get the same number on your plates every time they were replaced.

They make the license plates for NY, and quite a few other states, in Auburn prison, just a little west of where I live.
