Vintage License Plates

[TomoHawk]

Got some bad news....

According to the Ohio BMV, you first gotta prove the car was made in the year of the plates you have. Then you gotta buy a set of Historical plates. Then you can only use it on certain occasions, like club events, parades. NO DAILY DRIVING.

Then you can get you model year plates (same rules as historical). You don't need any of that of you just want to swap plates for car shows, but could you do that for 'parking lot' shows? It's a public roadway, so I think you gotta have the legal plates.

Here's the legal junk for you:

Historical rules:http://www.state.oh.us/odps/division/bmv/hstrcal.html

Model year rules: http://www.state.oh.us/odps/division/bmv/mdl_yer.html

It might be different where you live, but I wouldn'y think it's much different.
