Wanted - YOM 1937 Texas License Plates

ChargerHellcat

As some of you may know, in Texas you can register an antique car with YOM (Year of Manufacture) license plates.    My problem is that you need a matching set and I've only been able to find single plates on E-Bay and so forth.     Anyone know where I can get a matching set of 1937 Texas passenger car plates for the 1937 Hudson Terraplane I'm building?    I'd like everything to be period correct on it and having original license plates would be the cherry on top.      Thanks.

Almost every swap meet has at least one license plate vendor selling pairs and individuals at various prices depending on condition.   There were two I noticed in Fredericksburg a week ago for example.

Do you know of any swap meets in the Houston area? I don't get to get out of the area much (3 young daughters) Or if anyone else knows where I might find any '37 Texas plates let me know.

Thanks!

You can check antique stores that is where I found mine

If you are on Ebay, make a search and register it to get email updates.  YOM plates are continually offered.

Here's an example that will work now, and probably two years from now -

I have been registered on Ebay for the email updates. Unfortunately the only good SETS I've seen are the 1937 CM (Commercial) and FARM (Truck) plates. I have two restorable 1937 passenger car plates, but unfortunately they are not a set (which is required to register YOM plates in Texas). Not easy to find these days.

Try LIcense Plate Jesse in San Antonio, 210-532-7456. He's rated "honest and fair" over at the H.A.M.B. website.

This place does NOT currently have a set of '37 TX passenger plates, but if you're still looking in a month or two, you could check back with them:  .http://www.chucksplates.com/?cp=&yy=1937
