Love it. Beautifully smart, simple plate.

BTW, my old boss from my Houston days, the amazingly talented graphic designer Jay Loucks, created that piece of type that's graced your LA plates for years.

Lousiana does something right for once...not too good on building dams, but great at doing antique plates.

How many other states out there have the option of personalized antique or classic plates??

The Corp of Engineers didn't build the levees very well. Dams, not sure, not many around here.

Alabama has a antique plate that does away with the need to re register annually. The down side is the car is restricted from daily driver duties as a mileage limit is specified.

No restrictions I am aware of here, hope I don't find out the hard way:)

I got a antique tag from PA for my car. I had one on my 70 911 and this is what I was expecting for the plate:

Instead, to my surprise, I got this plate:

Which I find ugly. PA DOT basically told me tough cookies, they don't issue the purple ones anymore. Classic tags are nice and clean looking but then I would need to do the yearly inspection routine, so I'll stick with the Antique tags.

That's the next step for me too.

The prior owner had my car inspected and it passed but was expired in February

I'm going to to try to reinspect and keep the regular plates, and if it fails then I will get antique plates

The problem with that in NJ is that you are only supposed to drive it to "shows and exhibitions" when you have antique plates, so there may be issues with the police

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
