Many states allow registration within their YOM (Year of Manufacture) rules. Leather plates are what was legal for “our” cars (basically pre-’16 but individual states vary). Nearly all states allow display use (keeping your registered horseless carriage, classic car, vintage, etc., plate under the seat). A few owners simply use the plates for show purposes. Take a look at our Customer’s Gallery page; I’m certain all these cars (except possibly Peter Brigg’s 1904 Napier L48) are in use with our leather license plates.
We have learned that it can sometimes be difficult to work with your local DMV office when dealing with this rather obscure application. Some customers repeat Rear Admiral Grace Hopper’s often quoted statement: “It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”
