Texas goes two ways on license plates for vintage vehicles.

For vehicles 25 years or older a Historic Vehicle plate can be purchased for $35 and it good for up to 5 years. These plates all expire at the same time. Current expiration is March 2013. These are single plates for rear only. Inspections are waived. Mileage is limited in purpose and distance to keep owners from using them on their daily drivers. I have Historic Vehicle plates on my Packards.


Owners of vintage vehicles can use YOM plates appropriate for the year of the vehicle. I believe the cost of using these plates is the same as a vanity plate (regular registration cost plus) and must be renewed each year. I believe vehicles with YOM plates are subject to the same requirement as vehicles with regular license plates. Number on YOM plate must not be one that is currently in use. Not absolutely sure about all this as I have not gone this route.
