[Spridgets] Personalized LBC plate question

[David Riker]

"For the pleasure of others without compensation"

Every time I drive the MG, and someone sees it, they receive the pleasure of 
seeing it.    I have had Collector plates on the MG for 2 years now, and 
have  YOM plates on the Falcon.  Also have the collector car insurance on 
them, which has about the same rules as the state does on the license 
plates.  Unless you are going to drive the Morris in the dead of winter when 
there is snow on the ground,  you won't have a problem. If you have an 
at-fault accident commuting to work in it, well, that might be a different 
story.

About the only thing that will get you pulled over when running YOM plates 
is that a Pick-up is prohibited from carrying a load in the bed once 
collector/YOM plates are installed.  I inquired at the DOL office when I got 
them, and these were their answers, not mine.

The next cool thing you need to find are old dealer plate frames from the 
selling dealer.  I found a set for the Falcon and restored them.  It is 
really cool at a car show to pop on the original CA black plates that were 
issued with the car, and the correct plate frames.  Just a little extra WOW 
factor.  I even have a business card from the F&I Manager of the dealer, and 
the vinyl envelope with the dealer stamp for the owners manual.

Hi Bill,

This is what I'm going by.... I don't know if they enforce it.
But, with the need for state/city funds - in other words "sock it to the 
poor driver" - you never know  ;-)

for collectors:-

similarly for restored:-

It's the bit about not being used for regular transportation that bugs me!

I know a lot of people here in Washington with collector plates and have 
never herd of any one being pulled over and questioned about the limits of 
there license. I have a Bugeye and found a 1960 plate at a swap meet BES 
609. This will be my first full summer of driving so I may find out about 
the limitations.
