Seeing if someone has some insight on an issue that has come up this past week for my 1939 and 1940. Since I have had these cars, around 40 years, was living in California and both these cars have original 1939 and 1940 California license plates. We moved to Nevada around 15 years ago, but I retained property in California up until several months ago. I just renewed registration in California for both, and it seems California does not have an issue with the Nevada address allowing me to keep the plates, at least for now. But, my longtime Grundy insurance stated they will no longer renew my insurance. I am just trying to keep the original license plates, any ideas? Thanks

Change to Hagerty?

Will give it a try, thanks

I am actually kind of curious as to why Nevada didn't make you get their plates. Maybe they don't care about old cars as much or they are not as much of a revenue generator so treat them differently but as I'm sure you know, Calif DMV would be all over you if you were still a resident but had and drove registered out of state cars for that long.

With Hagerty, I have one car insured that is in another town from where I live and a couple others in another state. Maybe Nevada has special insurance issues but I rather doubt it.

Driving these vehicles around Vegas the past fifteen years no one has said anything. A couple neighbors thought as long as they have the current registration tags on the plates no one cares? The only one making an issue is Grundy.
