Brien asked: " Do you have any info on any states with any degree of this law in place? I'd love to read more about it as it sounds like a timely issue to bring up as it just might be an issue I'll need current knowledge on."
Volks (and Brien), I'd like to know how other states handle this. But for now: I've asked local friends, and we've chosen to exploit an apparent ambiguity in our state's law. There's a summary of it on the back of an Antique Vehicle license plate application (click on http://www.tn.gov/revenue/forms/titlereg/f1312901Fill-in.pdf and look at the second page) that has convinced several police officers. It just says one can use old license plates issued at about the time the old car was made, and carry the current Antique Vehicle tag in the car, ready to show on police request. It doesn't say the old plate(s) have to be from this state -- it only refers to "a license plate from an era when ...". For those of you without an Adobe reader, here's the key paragraph: >>"DISPLAY OF THE ANTIQUE MOTOR VEHICLE PLATE. The antique plate >>can be mounted on the rear of the vehicle or the owner may >>display, on the rear of the vehicle, a license plate from an >>era when the manufacture of such vehicle occurred, as long as the >>antique vehicle license plate is maintained in the vehicle and is >>readily assessable and produced upon request of any law >>enforcement officer." Anyhow, if anybody's state has an enlightened policy involving our antique cars, I'd like to be informed.
