Re: [Chrysler300] Running vintage license tags

Hi Dave, and all,

Illinois has the same odd arrangement: you can run "historic" tags that aren't actually registered to the vehicle if you have Antique Vehicle plates and registration and have them with you.

I've often wondered how that works over state lines. I noticed Noel Hastalis drove the F from Illinois to the Virginia meet with a 1960 California(!) tag on it. The definition of "historic" is open to interpretation. He seems to have stayed out jail.

So, people! Let's drive some cars to the fall meet! The last few meets have been a little disappointing for turnout of cars. Last Chicago area meet had over 40 cars. Good, central location. Let's do it. Drive your car!

I know we all like each other, but it is a car club after all!

P.S. Meet registration form should hit your mailbox with the Club News any minute.

      Just got back from the court house after paying my tag fees for the year.

Several years ago I was lucky enough to score a pair of NOS Iowa plates fort 1960 with the idea of displaying them on the F at shows etc.



Since then I have acquired  used '57 and '58 Iowa plates for the C and D and had them restored by a fellow in Iowa Falls, IA. When he sent them back he included a copy of an Iowa notification that the vintage tags could be displayed on the vehicle while driving as long as it was in conjunction with a show, cruise, parade etc.



I thought I would verify this at the local license desk this morning and was pleasantly surprised to learn that I can run the old tags on the cars all the time as long as I HAVE the CURRENT YEAR TAGS and REGISTRATION in THE CAR!!



Good Deal!!



I'm wondering are other states like this??

Do I dare set foot inside ILL on the way to the fall meet displaying old tags??

After all.....it is about..... $AFETY....Right!!!????
