Re: '39 Oregon Plate
Looks right at home there. I like how clean the back of the 1939 model is with the license plate centered on the trunk and the teardrop lights.

Re: '39 Oregon Plate
I also have the antique plate only on the rear of my OR avatar. Although there are "restrictions", you can run the car for trips to buy maintenance items, warm it up to change the oil, car club business, charge the battery, get gas, etc, so basically you are pretty open to drive it. I have never been bothered by any law folks here. I had a State Trooper pull up behind me last year when I was parked on the shoulder making minor adjustments. He said "I just wanted to see your car and make sure you were ok".

Re: '39 Oregon Plate
A YOM plate in CA has no restrictions.. It is treated like a personal vanity plate.

Re: '39 Oregon Plate
Actually in Oregon you don't have to run a year of car plate.
If you bought a car new in 39 they would issue you a 39 plate. The next year you would get a 40 plate and so on. You got a new plate every year until Oregon came out with a metal year tab that you secured to your plate. That's why there are so many early plates around. So if you have a 28 model A you could run a 36 plate for instance. |

Re: '39 Oregon Plate
Just get those rear bumper over-riders turned over and you'll be good to go.

Re: '39 Oregon Plate
I don't think the average police officer would waste his time stopping an old vehicle with old license plates, however, if the driver did something stupid, the old plates might give a policeman 'just cause' to stop the vehicle.
I have lived in California since 1956, one of my vehicles has a CA personal plate that I have had since 1987, it says '--IDAHO', the plate is a Yosemete plate, high snow covered mountains. I have the plate because I own property in Idaho, when I am in Idaho people think I am local, so they don't sic their dogs on me. I have only had one CA police officer ask me what the plate number meant. The locals in Idaho assume the plate is showing the snow covered 'Teton Mountains'.

Re: '39 Oregon Plate
Funny, as I was just looking at a bunch of inspection decals on this site a few days ago, but it seems they don’t have anything for 39, but maybe check with them.

Thanks, I've always enjoyed seeing the old plates on these cars so it was the first thing I bought after I got the car.

Every year I go to the DMV and try to get my '51 Plates re-instated. One of these years, I think the "new" plates are going to be scraped. |
