Any links to a source would be appreciated.

You may have to restore some of these but they are 1929's.

I have a 1929 Roadster from West Virginia. The last time it was registered was as an antique but hanging on front was an original 1929 WV plate. I called the registry of Motor Vehicles to see if that number was available and to my surprise about 20 minutes later I got a call back saying it was and I could use it if I wanted to. I had to take the plate to the registry so they could make a photo copy of it for their records and to make sure it was legible. Now I have that plate on the car. Each year I get a sticker with the expiration date but I do NOT affix it to the plate. I keep it with the registration in case there is any question. It sure looks great!

I have collected New York plates from 1910 to 1964 and the 1930 nos plates that are on my car using ebay with luck from a good number of sellers. #1 IN MY BOOK is FELIX1 ..he has to date 31,566 sales with 100% perfect feedback. # 2 is uptownbutte i believe a partner ??? or of the same in another state..?? Do a search on Google and type what you are looking for and other dealers will pop up . [sometimes...] good luck ..a SUPER person for plate restoration is FINISH MY PLATES from Tenn. and he sells plates already done ..Not cheap but the best i has seen ..

If your state is like California there is a special plate for commercial vehicles. I have been looking for a set to use on my '31 RDPU for the last couple of years. I haven't even found an overpriced pair. In California they can be identified by the small letters "PC" standing for "pneumatic commercial" (versus "SC", "solid commercial"). You might check your state with some of the license plate collectors. When applying for a YOM plate in California I think (don't quote me on it) you can use a passenger car plate but there is a section in the vehicle code that allows pre 1936 commercial vehicles to use passenger car plates.

Turns out 29 Kentucky plates are highly sought after by collectors.
In '29 the front plate issued had the "county"...Rear read "Progress" Only years were '29-'30.

Guess my truck will display the Kentucky Classic Vehicle Plate issued today.

Thanks guys!

I found my N.J. plate in Hershey,1929 commercial,it is real long and I had to drill an xtra hole to mount it on the stock bracket,also a 1957 Indiana plate for my 1957 Stude.There are several plate dealers in Hershey but you will pay alot for a restored plate,you probably could find a clean original.A friend in S.C. bought a 1929 plate for his A,pd. big bucks,then he found out he couldn't register it because it was last registered to a ton and a half truck!

I finally found a set of 31"s a month ago at a show with One vendor. Yup, old plates and tin signs. I had been looking for over 2 years.
So besides the I/net there are car shows, swap meets, etc as a source also.
Happy hunting !

every state is different,in my state if you use original plates,you pay registration each year.if you use new historic plates & your car or trk is 60 years or more its a one time registration with special black sticker.if I can get away with not sending my money to the state,i will.i'm in a state that taxes the rain. tom
