Re: Quasi YOM (Year of Manufacture) License Plates

Illinois has a pretty easy YOM plate law. They issue you a set of regular antique or "extended' antique plates, which you keep in the glovebox or trunk, and then you can put an original pair of YOM plates on the car. The YOM plate number is not registered to anything. On both of my cars, I bought sets from eBay and slapped them on the cars.

If I am ever pulled over, I must present the issued plates to the officer.

Pretty easy.

Not that I take the cars out on the Express Ways/Toll Roads, but I'm not sure how they would bill me for tolls as the YOM plates on the car are not registered back to anything.

But the Antique (cheapest and most restricted) or Extended Antique plates are only for cars pretty much driven to car shows and for limited use. So, not for daily drivers.
