Guest andrewconrad Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 This is likely a dumb question, but I can't find anything specific about it anywhere! I just moved my 69 ford from CA to PA, and I have the original YOM black-with-yellow plates on it. I'd love to keep these as the YOM vintage plates that are now allowed in PA under the new 2012 law. Reading the statute over and over, I can't find anything specifying that the plate must be for PA. Is this just so obvious that they don't bother to say it?

Doing otherwise would be a nightmare for looking up the registered owner of a car if/when a law enforcement officer runs a check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yes I think they assumed it was obvious. PA plate for a PA car I believe but it's state bureaucracy so who really knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Must be a PA plate of course..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dcdpgh Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I encountered this exact situation this past weekend, and it prompted me to come here to see if this had been discussed. While on my way to an old car event, I was passed on the road by another car which had a vintage plate from another state on it's rear bumper. Since I "went vintage" I tend to be more observant of the plates on other old cars. I even commented about it to my wife who was in the car with me at the time. I was hoping to find the car and talk to the driver once we arrived, but was unable to find either as this was a rather large event. To make the story even more strange, the other car was a 69 Ford, and it had a black and yellow California vintage plate on it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 52htman Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I just went an inquired about use of antique tags and I am sure they told me that they had to be Pa tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you have to register your vehicle as an antique vehicle by getting a reg. antique plate at $75 then you can use a vintage Pa. plate of the same year of your vehicle for another $75. The last part of the form which is section D reads - I certify the vintage registration plate is an authentic Pennsylvania registration plate for the year of manufacture listed in section C Edited August 23, 2013 by 52htman spelling (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last part of the form which is section D reads - I certify the vintage registration plate is an authentic Pennsylvania registration plate for the year of manufacture listed in section CPlease don't tell Maine about this. It costs $15.00 yearly for antique plates and we are allowed to use YOM plates at no charge. We must keep the current antique plate in the vehicle.

Guest 52htman Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Well this is Pa. and it is all about the money here. If you want to use your antique tags in this state it will cost you all together $150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max4Me Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Ply33: I had a 1969 Mustang that had black and yellow plates. However, I bought it used in '70 so your assumption that it was first registered in '68 and thus had the black and yellow and not the blue/yellow plates seems valid. I was too young in that era to pay attention to that kind of thing.🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
