Ain't exactly an engine question but, it attaches to my vehicle and that's got an engine.
I just called the California DMV asking about putting old plates on, if I were to get some on ebay or swapmeet. They said the plates have to match the vehicle year. That they would have to be stamped or a sticker saying '54. That sounds retarded. I found a set on ebay, black with yellow that had newer stickers, looked like '95. Was told they were clear but, couldn't use them 'cause they weren't stamped 1954 nor was the sticker '54. By their logic, one could only use the plates on a 1995 vehicle. I asked what if were to remove the sticker. She said then they couldn't be used at all 'cause there's nothing indicating a year. Maybe I'll just make a sticker that says 1954!
Anyone dealt with these bozos regarding this?
