This is the most common type of historic car plate. Other varities
exist, such as Exhibit and Street Rod, but are not as common. These
plates appear to have started at A10. |

Not sure when the switch from wide dies to narrow dies happened
on antique plates. |

It looks like Antique plates started at A100 upon introduction of
the narrow dies. The "ANTIQUE" slogan to the left has
also been condensed slightly, to make room for four characters instead
of three. |

Photographed in use
Photographed recently at a car show in Stowe. For some reason, many
of the classic cars registered in Vermont had standard passenger
plates or vanities, while cars from neighboring states such as New
Hampshire had almost entirely antique plates. In fact, the plate
to the left was the only Vermont antique plate at the show. Perhaps
Vermont's restrictions or charges make standard registration a better
option? |
