« on: March 04, 2023, 03:41:54 PM »In Wa. you ARE required to have one on your Restoration Plate or also Called Year of Manufacture Plate.
WHen you register on the Plate you need to have a Tab (*Real or Repop as they accept both) matching the Model Year of the Vintage vehicle being registered.
License plate collectors in my area Love to get vintage plates with Stacks of real foil Tabs on them as they "peel" them back and sell them to swap meet goers seeking the correct year for thier car and plate. Often the Repop ones in Wa are off in color or graphics for each specific Year.
Didnt know that about Washington. In Oregon, when you run a correct plate with special interest tags, they just give you one special interest tag for the rear plate that sticks to where the year tag would be. I still run my front plate and got a Oregon correct 68 decal. If you have a early plate (say 1930s) you dont have to run the sticker as there was no place for them on those plates. The whole thing is as clear as the Willamette in what you can and cant run.
