Thumbs up Year of Manufacture

1966 Shelby Roadster (RSHEL) is what I have on my title.

Besides the nostalgic look of Year of Manufacture plates, I dig the aspect that the YoM's obscure the "Collector Vehicle" aspect of my titling (like it's not on the printed on the fricken plates anymore), as there is DOL restrictions on usage of such "Collector" titling. With YoM I "think" that I may be more running under-the-radar for geting hassled over using the plates too often or not for events, etc...

I've had my snake licensed as a 1966 since 1997 and been running the Collector Plates for 10-years without a single incident or even a question over usage falling in the guidelines. I'll see if my theory is correct as I just put YoM on last week. The aspect of the YoM plates not being listed on the title as the license plate means you better have a registration handy if and when your "interacting" with the lawman. Like others have stated I'm convinced that DOL has no idea what they are doing with the YoM and each instance is almost a One-Off, they just like taking my $54 for the process.

Good luck on the retitle,
BC K
