So apparently they put these 1952 corners on 1951 plates to make them 1952. I didn’t know, but to use old plates you have to have the exact year. So I found some and got them. It says these were a ham radio operators platesSo apparently they put these 1952 corners on 1951 plates to make them 1952. I didn’t know, but to use old plates you have to have the exact year.

I’ve got 1986 plates for my Dodge Ram. Vancouver held the world expo in 1986 so they are expo themed.

They look like this:

FYI, the amateur license associated with that callsign is expired, but in a 2 year grace period for another ten months: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=814659

I’m wondering what California law is on running an amateur callsign plate when you don’t hold the callsign associated with it. And, even if it’s legal, I personally wouldn’t run that plate without the associated callsign.

Note that a 1x3 callsign is available to even Technician licenses, so the easiest license to get can apply for that callsign as a vanity callsign.

I was going to say the same thing. Even with the license expired the plate still is associated with the last operators name and address. I run ham plates and feel weird just letting other people drive my truck with so much information plastered to the vehicle. They do look pretty sweet though.

I have VA 1970 plates for the Jaguar. They were new in the wrapper.

And that’s the other problem.

Anyone can stick W6WCE into the FCC ULS like I just did, or they can sign up for QRZ.com and put it in there (I usually use QRZ.com first simply because it works for almost any callsign, not just US ones), and get the operator’s legal name and address.

There is a place in Fort Langley that sells a large amount of plates, did you want me to keep a lookout?

Were year-stamped plates available in B.C.?

EDIT: Turns out you had them until 1969 - Ontario was 1972. Interesting that the Wikipedia page for B.C. doesn’t really have pictures.

I want the 1967 Ontario plates with the 100 years since Confderation theme, which is why the Corvair I want would have to be a ‘67, unless I end up with a different ’67 model.

Thanks. I think the plates are the cleanest thing on the car.
