Quote: wanna sell the plates ? My Dart is a 71 and I can register it with those plates because they are year of manufacture.
The plate is actually dated for a 1970 registration. The “Dec 71” decal would indicate that the vehicle was current with the state up to that ending date. The car was built April of 1970 so this plate and the Dec 71 sticker would have been issued to show it was DOT certified until the end of the 71 calendar year. I believe that a new 1971 vehicle would have had a decal that referenced the year “72” for it’s first year of registration. You think the police would even notice if I slapped this plate back on the car and drove around the block a few times?
