I am still smarting from the kicking I gave myself when New York approved the use of "vintage plates", two years earlier I had thrown out over 30 sets of plates from the sixties and seventies. you don't want to know what I paid for this plate on Peebay

For the Illinois guys, straight from the State of Illinois General Assembly's web site....

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilc...Vehicle+Code%2E

(b) Any person who is the registered owner of an antique vehicle may display a historical license plate from or representing the model year of the vehicle, furnished by such person, in lieu of the current and valid Illinois antique vehicle plates issued thereto, provided that valid and current Illinois antique vehicle plates and registration card issued to such antique vehicle are simultaneously carried within such vehicle and are available for inspection.

I have a question regarding this topic. There are companies that
manufacture replacement license plates for our hobby.
I'm not sure of the particulars here, but I'm wondering if
you could have a plate made ( eg. 69-396 ) and register it
under this program?

Years ago I had the guy in Florida make a 1972 Ohio plate for my car.Back then everything was done via the mail to Columbus, all they wanted was a photo copy of the plates. Now keep in mind the guy in florida makes his plates out of aluminum. The problem here in Ohio now is that all the paperwork is done at the local license store....and they check your old plates with a magnet !
So make sure you know your states proceedure before having a set made.

I like it when an owner goes the extra mile and displays the vintage windshield mounted village sticker too.
Not every village issued those,as was my case,so I opted for the selling states original inspection label instead.
