In PA, you can use old plates on any car considered an "antique", for an extra fee on top of the antique registration. I had to research the proper alpha-numeric sequence for the year of my bug (1969) and found one. The listing showed a 1970 registration sticker, but I was able to peel that off and found the 1969 sticker I was hoping would be there. I haven't actually started using the plate (I registered it "normally" due to the long delay last year from state offices being shut down)but I will probably put it on if I am at a show of any sort.

Considering a move to North Carolina. In FL, there are no restrictions regarding running YOM plates. If I live in NC as a permanent address, I will have to change plates and registrations. Already called Hagerty about insurance change from FL to NC and there are surcharges unique to NC that will increase my premiums by around 10%. What are the rules for running YOM plates from your own experience?

On the advise of a fellow club member I sent my paperwork to NYS DMV to get the original plates back on my dad’s 67 Beetle. Best $3.75 I ever spent. The plate frame is from Charles J. Weis in Queens Village which is now a CVS. My mother wanted to kill my dad because he saved EVERYTHING! Now I am glad he did.

Just out of curiosity are the number the same as you fathers house number? I ask because that was popular in NYC in the 60's and 70's. I have a set of blue and yellow plates from that era that my aunt gave me and the numbers are her old address starting with Q for Queens. |

Yes the Q is for Queens but the numbers are not even close to the house number. I remember a boat load of plates starting with QK, not really sure what the K is for. I do know that PA in the 90’s used the registrants initials as the first 3 letters of the plate.

That is pretty cool to have the original dealership license plate frame. Not many people can say they have that on pre-2000 vehicles, let alone from the 60's!!

here is my bug with my yom plate. 52 plates from kansas are quite a difficult thing to find. the general population had 51 stamped plates with a metal piece to update the date. for a long time i thought 52 didnt exist. turns out that dealer plates were issued in 52. so here is my 1952 kansas plate. in the shape of the state as is correct.

That is pretty interesting with the updated plate in 1952 thing! I wonder why they did it that way that year, but went back to yearly plates again? Before posting I looked it up-They used the metal year tags in 52 and 53 to help save metal for the Korean War.
I'm in Manhattan, KS (where are you?).
Kansas transitioned permanently from the yearly stamped plates to the sticker system in 1977. So the last stamped plates were 1976. Until around 1980 or 81, you just put a new sticker on your 1976-stamped plate.
So my 1978 Bus wears a '76-stamped plate, with several old revalidation stickers. When I registered it to the Bus, they printed out a new sticker that says 1978.
I would say that a 1951 license tag with the 1952 metal tag would be perfectly appropriate for your car.
I am SURE I originally found a 1978 dealer tag like yours, but when I attempted to use this one, they said that wasn't allowed because it was for dealers only. I guess whoever was at your courthouse was more agreeable.

Easy to do this in Ohio.
I just registered YOM plates for my recently acquired 67 Ghia convertible.
The registration is good until 2046

im in overland park.
oh, my bug doesnt drive yet. it actually hasnt been outside the garage since 1998.
i did put the dealer tag on the front. for those of you who dont know kansas only uses back plates, so you can put whatever you want up there. my friend mike has a german front plate on his gti.
my understanding is if i want to replace the modern one on the back i will have to use a 51 with metal thing updated to 52. we will see once i get the thing driving.
neat info about the korean war. i had wondered why but hadnt put 2 and 2 together. thanks for that!

Florida or California shaped plates would scrape the ground no matter if lowered or not.
