Anyone have any experience with a temp plate? This is a GA plate and is issued by new car dealers, it has a unique number and expiration date, I assume it is traceable/runable. Think this will be OK along the route or should I try to talk the dealer into loaning me a red new car dealer tag...?

Registration is what they look at during check-in. And insurance, drivers' license....I don't think the plate will be an issue either.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'

Due to bad planning on my part, I did 2014 with a paper temp plate. People kept asking if i had just bought the car.Chris - HRPT Long Haul 03, 04, 05, 13, 14, 15,16 & 18

I drove the 56 Bel Air last year on the whole tour with a out of date sticker! I finally realized it at my dad's house on the last day when I swapped cars to drive the 64 Impala into Charlotte so I wouldn't have to drive back to Conover.Retirement is better than I thought!

I don't see that as a problem either. I run a YOM plate on my Studebaker and being my first time for Power Tour last year I was afraid I would have trouble because in North Carolina you can run a YOM plate, but must have the "real" plate in the car. The license plate number on the registration card is the "real" plate number not the YOM number. When I went to registration on day one the young lady that was helping me laughed a bit and said not to worry nobody pays attention to that kind of stuff.

You still have a week... if it were my car, i'd prefer a real plate. You just look out of place if your 800 miles from the state the paper tag was issued... obviously not uncommon, but maybe you'll get a little more scrutiny.Last edited by Jesse James 80; June 3, 2019, 11:17 AM.1967 Chevrolet C10 SWB - 350/700R/3.73
