If you live inthe Satate of Illinois, do you have a vintage vehicle that you would like to drive and use vintage Illinois license plates from that cars "birth" year? You have two options. If your vehicle is over twenty-five years old, you can apply for Illinois Antique Vehicle license plates that are good for five years.
This is a relatively little known and cool feature that allows all of us with Vintage Vehicles to drive our toys with vintage year plates.
The following is the State Statue that allows this.
(625 ILCS 5/3‑804) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3‑804)
Sec. 3‑804. Antique vehicles.
(b) Any person who is the registered owner of an antique vehicle may display a historical license plate from or representing the model year of the vehicle, furnished by such person, in lieu of the current and valid Illinois antique vehicle plates issued thereto, provided that valid and current Illinois antique vehicle plates and registration card issued to such antique vehicle are simultaneously carried within such vehicle and are available for inspection.

For those of you living outside of Illinois, I suggest you let me know if YOUR state allows something similar!

"I wanted to let you know that my Father passed away early Friday morning and what your Funfest meant to him.
As you know, VWs were Pop's passion and he told everyone from his friends to the Doctors at the hospital recently of the fun we've had and the wonderful presentation you honored him with this past year at Funfest.
He fought to the very end asked for two things. To be able to go home to his loving wife of 64 years and to be able to go to Effingham for VW Funfest with me one more time.
He was my hero as you know and I am blessed to be able to say that he was my best friend and we were able to spend his Golden Years on the road in our VWs and "Diggin' Life"
Warm Regards,
Darby Milnor
Not only has the Milnor family lost a great patriarch, but the VW community has lost a strong supporter and lifelong enthusiast.
