Re: Running Single Plate in California
Arizona requires only one plate on the rear...We do tend to be a bit laid back! Ernie

In searching on line.... Daves California License Plates. He has quite a few different plates.... including a pair of 1930 pc plates. He might be able to help you find the 1931 plates. Cheap? Nope! Gil. NoCal |

Re: Running Single Plate in California
OK went from two plates to one during WWII steel shortage, been that way ever since. I run the 1930 plate that came with the car in front and the legal one on the back. If I had two matching I could register and run them both and be true to period, but frankly I don't care all that much.

Re: Running Single Plate in California
In California there is only 2 years that you can run only one plate. 1945 & 1946. They only made one plate those years using the same plate for 46 and getting a small tag with 46 to attach in the upper rh corner, and if it is for a pickup for either of those years and you want a YOM plate, it does not have to be a commercial plate.

DMV does not seem to know what I'm talking about when I ask them. I have two 1930 A's (with consecutive numbered 1930 plates no less) one has the little metal tab with the stickers on it. I can't seem to find out how to get the tab for the other one. Dirk |

Re: Running Single Plate in California
Here in Alaska, it is (nearly) impossible to obtain YOM plates for the Model A years. So, what quite a few have done is to display their "legal" plate on the rear, and a YOM plate from whatever state on the front. For quite a few years, my pickup had this plate on the front. It was quite amusing when I would drive it to work, since most of the people I worked with were from Texas. (I was working for an oil company based in Texas.)

Re: Running Single Plate in California
Most DMV offices will be able to give you
these metal tabs. Our local has given these to me. There are sellers on fleabay selling license plate frames made for the year sticker. There is no question you may not attach the Year sticker to the plate or tab.... your choice. Just know CHP as of January 1 is now writing Tickets ( not fix-it tickets)... for no year stickers. Roll the dice if you choose. Gil. NoCal |

Re: Running Single Plate in California
Gil,
I see a lot of vehicles with out-of-state plates that have obviously not re-registered in California because they have stickers that are several years behind. I wish they would target those vehicles first because they are getting a free ride. David Serrano |

Re: Running Single Plate in California
Waited about 1.5 hours to be told that I can't get the little tab to put the stickers on because my car is not a commercial vehicle. That was in Walnut Creek Ca with an appointment. Had the manager idiot come verify what the window lady was telling me. Have plate and stickers, will display with a plate frame. Cal DMV must hire Post Office rejects.

Re: Running Single Plate in California
Just remembered! One of our members found a frame with the tabs cast as part of it. I have seen them advertised somewhere but also don't remember where. I don't have a photo but I can probably get one. They seemed too expensive for this shade tree mechanic! Some one in this group must've seen them and remembered where. I think that they are the neatest.

Re: Running Single Plate in California
Dick,
Thanks I just ordered one of those off Ebay. DMV did not send a tab with my registration, and they did not know what I was talking about when asked. So for $12 delivered I'll just buy one. Dirk |

Re: Running Single Plate in California
Washington state recently passed a law requiring the weight of all vehicles when you first register them. They will try to look it up on the internet, but if they can't find it in just a couple of searches, you must take it to be weighed at a certified scale.
Also, in Washington, if your car qualifies for a collector plate or horseless carraige plate, they only supply you with one plate. If you run YOM plates, you only need one, but it must match the type of vehicle. Why can't this sort of crap be standardized accross all states? |
