Sam, there is nothing in the Ohio Revised Code under section 4503.181 that excludes a person from registering model year dealer plates. Below is subsection "D" of this ordinance which talks specifically about registering historical and model year plates. You also do NOT need to run both plates on the car. With model year plates you only have to display the rear unlike regular Ohio plates, must display both. Below it says both plates "MAY" not "MUST" be displayed.
(D) A vehicle registered under this section may display either a historical vehicle license plate issued by the registrar of motor vehicles or a model year license plate procured by the applicant. A historical vehicle license plate shall not bear a date, but shall bear the inscription "Historical Vehicle--Ohio" and the registration number, which shall be shown thereon. A model year license plate shall be a legible and serviceable license plate issued by this state and inscribed with the date of the year corresponding to the model year when the vehicle was manufactured. Two model year license plates, duplicates of each other, may be displayed on the historical motor vehicle at any time, one plate on the front and one plate on the rear of the vehicle. The registration certificate and the historical vehicle license plate issued by the registrar shall be kept in the vehicle at all times the vehicle is operated on the public roads and highways in this state.
Hope this helps....
Rich
