I've been wondering....
Now, I have an original 85 442 that I bought new. I got all sorts of dealer trinkets and dealer badges and front license plate...all sorts of crap for it.
But I also kept the VERY FIRST license plate that was registered on the car. And now since SC is allowing YOM plates on cars I think 30 years and older, I've got a question about how they interpret these laws.
Here's my dilemma. It's actually the first plate the car ever saw, but the EXPIRATION DATE of 1/86 is on the plate. It would be nice to get the original plate the car came with next year when the car turns 30 in 2015.
Thing is, all 1985 plates had 86 imprinted in the bottom RH corner as 1985 was the first year the then-"new" plate design came into effect.
So will I be relegated to finding a 1984 plate with an 85 expiration date on it? I would find that rather stupid because my car wasn't even built in 1984, but then again, I'm in South Carolina.
Anyone deal with YOM plates?
