Why shorter license plates?
Before 1956, license plates were made is various sizes and shapes. In this case, the plate is made only long enough to fit the number. So if there are more numbers, the plate is longer; fewer numbers and the plate is shorter. In 1956, licenses plates across the country were standardized to today's size of 6x12 inches
Can I put these on my car?
In Illinois, you can. We have the Year-of-Manufacture law. It says that if your vehicle is 25 years or older, you may display the car's year of manufacture license plates. For example, if you own a 1981 vehicle, you may attach 1981 license plates. You simply keep your regular registration and plates with you in your vehicle and available for inspection.  Other states have similar laws.  Check with your state's department of motor vehicles for details.
