<VV> Corvairs with 'Antique' plates

[Kent Sullivan]

One of my Corvairs came with its original plates and I have been very
thankful that the previous two owners did not keep them. The historical
significance is high. John--I totally understand this is a hobby of yours
but I would urge you (and any like-minded collectors) to please pass on
plates that are original to a car. Unless we're talking about a very unusual
plate, there is only one set of plates that is original to a car vs. any
number of sets of plates you could find/purchase from the same
year--essentially the same if your goal is collecting plates by year.

"By original to a car" I mean the very first set of plates the car ever had.
And of course I know a few states require that plates be surrendered to the
DMV/BMV so it's not possible in those cases.

Thanks.

Mike,
Boy that could be a real bummer having to return your old plates !  If every

state done that it would really limit plate collecting. You don`t have to do

that in Tennessee or most other states.
That is a good point in not letting your license plates go with a car you 
sell.  I take them off because as a side hobby I collect license plates, 
never thought about the liability problem.
