Default Vintage License Plate Source?

Hi All, anyone have a reputable source for original year of manufacture license plates? I'm looking for some 1955 NYS plates.

Thanks,
Dan

Thinking of using this company for a set of Virginia plates for my 69 but have not seen their product personally

I just checked ebay..some mint ones for $20-30.00 NYS 1955. Also do a search for ones that did not sell.

Vintage license plates have been dropping in price every year.

I ordered this set of plates from Licenseplates.tv and I was very pleased with the results. Not cheap, but I wanted a set of the original plates as shown on my car's original title.

Might want to check with your local DMV office. In Michigan you can only use original plates, no reproductions as antique plates.

There is a guy in Evergreen, AL that sells tags on Ebay. I believe his Ebay name is Alabama Tag Man. I have bought several from him over the years and once about 15 years ago visited his place. At that time he had over 100,000 license plates. Thousands of them still in the plastic sleeves and most of those were in the original wooden shelves from old courthouses. The license plate collector people are pretty serious about their hobby. He has a slow type of bone cancer but still buys and sells. His name is Ed.

Now I'm sad, There is a note on his ebay page saying he passed away in November. We had emailed back and forth last spring about some plates. Note says his wife will continue selling eventually. Sad news, he was a nice guy

I have seen cars with year of manufacture plates at shows and wondered if they were legal. They usual are custom plates and no way they are old
