<VV> License plate restoration

[Jim Houston]

I have several old plates (including a 1951 Texas) that I would love to 
restore and display on the garage wall, so I'm looking forward to your 
article, Dave!!  Thanks for the effort!!

Just for information -  Florida allows the use of "Authenticated 
Plates", which allows the use of year correct plates (for example, you 
can have a 1965 Florida plate on your 1965 Corvair.)  However, it 
plainly states in the DMV manual that the plates must be in "unrestored" 
condition.  The plate has to be sent to Tallahassee for approval before 
it can be used.  Just thought I would point this out to the Florida 
members who might be thinking of using a year correct plate on their 
car.  DON'T restore it!
