Good News from Arizona

It appears AZ defines 'collectible' as a car that qualifies for collector car insurance.

Absolutely correct. This week I went to the AZ MVD office to register my Chevelle. I took my letter from MK Insurance proving that it was insured on a Collector policy, which was sufficient to give me exemption from the emissions test. To go one step further, I had a set of 1969 Arizona passenger car license plates, and I asked if I could legally register those plates to the car. The young lady at the MVD office had to ask a couple questions and make a couple phone calls, but eventually it got done

Way cool Bill! Looks great!

A tip of the hat to your friend we saw at the Pavillions (uh, oops, sorry, can't remember his name ) who indicated that year-of-manufacture plates could be legally registered on a vehicle here

I have the phone number of the special plate office that okays the vintage plates. Going thru the local DMV office is a crapshoot, sometimes you get the right person like Bill did and sometimes you get someone who won't help you or doesn't know the rules. I've heard of guys being told it's not possible. The special plate office checks to see if that sequence number is in use and if it isn't they okay the plate. I have a number of plates I plan to check on and I will let you know what they say.

Forgot to add if you want the special plate office number pm me.

what makes a plate okay to use? just that there isn't a new plate with that number or ??

[Ngtflyr]

First of all the same plate number can't be in use and i think there is a period of time that has to expire after the registration expires. I know someone trying to use a plate and he's been told after the 1st of the year he should be able to use his plates if the duplicate plate number owner doesn't renew his. I will call next week and see which of the four sets of plates I have are usable and what the AZ DMV says.
