<VV> California Plates

[Jim]

In Michigan the YOM plate is a one time registration fee of $35 with no
expiration or annual renewal.  Historic plates are good for 10 years.

That's a very true statement, since in the case of the YOM (Year of
Manufacture) plate system in Ontario, they have decided to gouge the
consumer, since in Ontario you first have to buy a set of YOM plates and
then they charge you $251 (versus $50 in California) to register them, and
every year thereafter you have the "privilege" of paying an annual renewal
fee of $80 versus the approx $20 renewal fee that would apply if you simply
went the historic plate route, for which the plate only costs $20 at the
outset.

Notwithstanding this, I have YOM plates on two of my cars, my '66 427 Vette
and my '72 BMW 2002tii. Still waiting to find a set of '66 plates for my '66
Turbo Vert.
