Where to find vintage license plates

[robber6910]

Dan and Joe, from 1966 to 1972, NY used the blue background with orange lettering plates. There are different variations of the blue background (some appear darker whereas some appear lighter). As long as you have the correct plate (i.e. blue background w/orange letters) and your sticker tag matches the year your car was produced, you can use it.

I own a Historic plate company that make delaware license plates. I have had many dealings with license plate collectors. Your best bet would be Dave Lincoln in Kennett Square, pa. 610-444-4144

good luck

I have about 5 Manufacturer plates available from the sixties, some single, some pairs, all Michigan except for a single 68 Black California plate. Without looking I cant remember the years right off, I think 62, 65, 66, 68, and another I am not sure on year. Some are perfectly restored, others are near mint original. M plates are very difficult to find, much rarer then dealer, really adds a touch of class to your car. I will post later today with exact years, condition, prices, etc., if anyone is interested.

I had some success at some of the plate collector sites that have classified ads. I think one is PL8s.com (been over a year since I use one).

I picked up a few 1970 Virginia plates after posing a wanted ad. Be careful of the email address you use. Spammers tend to cruise these boards for email addresses.

Try Europlates.com in Florida. They can make you anything you need. I had them do both a set of 69 Ohio plates and the vintage UK plates I need for my car.

Sorry, gave you the wrong URL. Should be -- Eurosign Metalwerke

I'm very happy with the plates I received from them. My uncle also had an Olds manufacturer's plate made for his '70 W-31 that he is happy with.

They can't do registration stickers. I ended up doing the eBay route for a set of clean '69 Ohio plates for that...
