Heh,

This brought back memories of my time in Dekalb county. I had a 1979 Cadillac and I called the DMV to ask about "classic" plates. I was a poor student and was hoping to catch a break on my $800 car. As CompressIgnite says, you get the privilege of paying more for an uglier license plate and that is it!

@rrgrassi
Could I pick up an old Texas plate from Wimberley market days and take that to my tax and title office and have them assign the plate to my car? I guess whatI am asking is how do you get a date-appropriate plate if one didn't come with the car?
