What do you have for vanity or booster plates on your G?

Here in my state, you have to run both front and rear DMV plates, HOWEVER, when you get to your destination whether it be a car show or cruise in night, you can always switch up your plate/s for the event. Would love to see some pictures of your plates! Seems to be a nice finishing touch to a classic ride.

It's not current (which it needs to be) but I have the Pa zoo plate for my Monte.

Little confusing, this is the one on Olds Cool, but it’s actually supposed to be for The Juggernaut because The ‘Naut is Oldsmobile (Rocket) powered:

I have to check in person at the DMV to see if this is available, but it’s the one I’m thinking of for Olds Cool:

I'd have to dig it out to take a pic, but my 85 should be getting it's ORIGINAL South Carolina-issued plate "BLG 525", once approved. It was the first plate the car ever got as it was ordered up by the dealership during purchase. It's still in nice shape. But they used to do things a little different back then.

The rule in SC is that if you have a "year corresponding" plate, you can run it as long as it isn't a local/state governement plate, or some other stipulations. Everything you'd do to get a regular plate except that you need to get your plate pre-approved and pay a $30 special plate fee every year. The $30 goes for vanity plates as well.

If you own certain vehicles that are at least 30 years old, you can apply to use a license plate issued by South Carolina in the year corresponding to the model year of the vehicle. If approved by the SCDMV, the Year of Manufacture plate can be used on the vehicle as a regular plate. These plates can only be used on automobiles and light trucks with a gross vehicle weight of 11,000 pounds or less and an empty weight of 9,000 pounds or less.

I'm just hoping they're not too critical to note that the 86 is not the model year, and the actual issue date was 1985. Maybe they'll have registration records that go back that far (probably not) of my car to show that it was its first plate.

Here's a depiction of what the 1985-issued plate looks like (NOT MINE). I'll dig out my original and post it up later.

I've had this plate on my 79 Monte Carlos since the early 80's. Year play on the Chevrolet advertising lingo.

Pa has a simular program with older plates but they only allow plates issued '06 to '76 but not the '77 up plates. They also require them to be used with classic/antique registrations. It's a $84 fee but it's on top of the $142 classic antique fee which is a one & done for life. Now a friend found a loop hole that will allow me to get away with the correct '81 yellow plate if I opt to use it but it'll cost me $85 for a current personnal plate in the yellow plate's number. He did suggest to carry the current plate in the car to be safe in case the local town clown objects. He has his original blue plate on his truck & never had an issue. He's a state trooper so he has an idea on this.

I’ve never had a personalized plate but there used to be a mustang mach 1 that would tear around town wearing “PANIC” on the personalized plates
I always thought that was cool and somehow perfectly appropriate for that car and driver lol

I thought about getting a plate for my Monte but realized if I were to possibly be seen breaking the speed limit people could remember the plate easy enough but instead they will just say they saw a GN fly by them.

I'll jump in here. I'm as surprised that this plate was available, as I am proud to have it 🙂
