[VACList] "Historic Vehicle" License Plates

["Dave Lowrey" <airstream@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The State of Ohio allows owners of vehicles that are at least 25 years 
old (the vehicle, not the owner :-) to purchace "Historic Vehicle" license 
plates.

There is a one time charge of about $15, and are good for basically as 
long as you own the vehicle (Mine expire in 2050). You DO need a title 
as proof of the vehicle's age.

You can also get personalized plates, however there is an annual fee 
for those.

One of the neat things about this, besides not having to pay to re-register 
the vehicle every year, is that you are allowed to use "vintage" license 
plates, that match the year of the vehicle.

So, I could put 1977 "Trailer" or "House Vehicle" plates on my 1977 
trailer. If anyone runs across one of these, please let me know. They 
are white with red letters/numbers, and do not have a year on them, 
as we had gone to "stickers" by that point. I have searched flea markets
and eBay, but no luck so far....

There IS a restriction in that you are only supposed to have the vehicle 
on the road for shows, parades or "club" activities. Well, I figure just 
about every trip I go on is a WBCCI "activity" :-)

A big thanks to Scott Scheuermann, who mentioned this last year!
