Well, as some of you may know by now, I'm buying Howard Ginsberg's 1988
300E. Howard and the car ('Providence') are in Georgia, and I'm driving
down there next weekend with my daughter. Does anyone have 1st hand
experience in how GA treats the license plates (tags)? Here's what I've
been told
I'd think that as long as you have the old plates (and the registration
card) you'd be safe if stopped. Even if the plates stay with the owner, as
is the case in Iowa, you could simply mail the plates back to the seller
once you register in Oklahoma.

in CA.

Yep.
In Michigan, you are allowed three days from date of purchase
to obtain a plate. If the car is replacing another, the insurance
on the old car will suffice. Unfortunately, the legal thing to
do is drive it without plates, which
usually as long as you have a bill of sale you dont really need a plate
to transport it back. Your ins will also cover it for 30 days from
purchase. Thats how it works in OK and I have done it many times.

No, I inquired about that one lately as well, but Howard sold it some time
ago, think maybe a few years ago, but a long-ish time, I know I would have
been kicking myself if it just would have been sold a few months before I
started looking. This one is burgundy/palomino with 162k, a '88 300E.

Well, yeah, as opposed to the two individual buckets in the 500E (or the
