NY Registration Woes

[MGlad]

Hey Pat,
I have a friend of a friend that knows the supervisor at the Buffalo field inspection station. He said appointments should be opening soon and that my inspection should go smoothly. All I can really do is wait. My next battle is at the DMV. When I went there initially, I wanted to register it as Historic so I can put on a '65 Vintage plate, there is no front plate. The supervisor there was giving me a hard time about it. I know it can be done, a friend's brother-in-law has a Backdraft with the '65 plate and he registered his at the same DMV office. It seems like a requirement to work at the DMV is being skilled in confrontation.

Keep me informed about the process of getting historic plates, it would be worth trip to Buffalo to pull that off!

Your VIN number will be 7 digits: NY7XXXX, and your registration will read 2012 Custom Convertible.



I run a single plate, haven't had any trouble. Yet!

Hang in there!

Pat

Hey Pat,
Mines Malachite Green also! Click on the camera icon underneath my name (MGlad) As far as the Historic registration goes, check out the requirements on the DMV website. It specifically says a car doesn't have to be 25 years old if it has historic, classic or exhibit value: NYS DMV - Custom Plates - FAQs
