Here is a Trick I have Been Using For Years! BTW It May Not Be Legal in Your State. I am Using My 1967 ltd Fastback as an Example. What I do Is when one of my older Cars Has a PILE of Year Tags is to Cut them off with a Razor Blade to Get to The Original Year Model of The Car. I then Put That Plate on the Front of the Car and Now The Year Model of The Car is Identified. Granted The Older The Car The Cooler This Trick is. Now with your 05 Simply Swap Plates when Your New Tags Come. Now your 05 will Be Identified as an 05 as Long as you have That front Plate. I like it and thought I would Share this Trick with you! I Realize Not everbody Has Front Plates but For those who Do. Also I have Got a Few Double takes from the Meter Maids in Ca. But No tickets! Oh You May have to get a new Month Tag if your State uses those! It would Probably would be a Good Idea to Remove The Month Sticker off the Front for Less Hassle!

i would think that would be illegal anywhere, as then they dont know if the car is currently registered/inspected

Dang Kevin... those black plates take me back to my childhood! I always thought they were the coolest Cali plates. The blue plates were cool too but not like the black ones. As for the white plates...

That won't work with my 05 because my plates were just transferred from my trade-in... Which has stickers back to 2001.

So... I bought my 05 in 01?

Cool idea....
Unfortunately, in Connecticut, they call that "Misuse of Plates" which , I believe has a mandatory license suspension if caught.
