Painted license plates?

Scratch wrote: Holy crap!  Those HMV plates are 5 bucks! Problem solved!

You can thank the MVPA and a great guy by the name of Jeff Rowsam for that, back in about 2010 the Wisconsin DMV decided military vehicles did not belong on the road and started revoking titles, Jeff with the help of the MVPA petitioned the state legislature and after about 2 years were able to get the statute reversed. Along with that they also added to the new legislation that if you had an MV titled in Wisconsin you could have 2 parts vehicles stored on your property, and also created the MV license plate…

So the people who say the MVPA does nothing for them are full of $hit, this is why it pays to support your hobby, Wisconsin was the first state to go after the MV hobby, the hard work by Mr Rowsam and the MVPA set the standard for the rest of the US and many other states who chose the Anti-MV band wagon also were reversed.

Pretty sure your regular collector plates have the exact same restriction, as long as you’re not using it for a commuter vehicle nobody will,ever question its use more than likely.

It means you cannot use it to drive TO and FROM your place of employment. I have collector plates on several Jeeps, I drive them wherever I want to, whenever I want to including coffee with my retired friends, and coffee with friends is also a car show if an officer of the law asks and that’s never happened yet… If I have a chat on the side of the road, it’s usually because I’ve been pulled over because my right taillight is out, it’s happened several times over the years and twice in one night once that’s another story

One time fee of like $75 for vintage plate registration here in Oregon.

Here in Ohio there’s a unique paragraph in our Historical licensing for military built vehicles (not tributes, CJ’s painted OD).

Yup, $101 and three hours of my life. But like Dasvis says, a one time fee! I had the choice of $186 for two years or $101 for the rest of my ownership. Seemed like a no-thinker!
