There are numerous vendors listed in Hemmings that sell old license plates, and
many specifically indicate they have Maryland plates. I can't speak to the
process the MD DMV may have as to the restrictions on their use. I believe
that MD permits year of manufacture (YOM) plates to be used.
Through a vendor in New York, I located a 1959 District of Columbia plate.
Unfortunately he only had one, but DC plates are pretty scarce, not to mention
trying to find one for a particular year. DC does not permit YOM plates to be
used, but that wasn't going to stop me. I requested and got a personalized new
plate with the same letter/number sequence as that on the '59 plate. Now I
have the new plate with the registration stickers on the back of the car, and
the vintage plate on the front. I've never been questioned.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A PLACE OR SOMEONE WHO HAS HISTORIC LICENSE PLATES..NOT
COVERS OR FRAMES FOR THE PLATES...BUT ACTUAL LICENSE PLATES FOR A

MY NAME AND DRIVE WITH THEM ON MY '71 IMPERIAL...
