I have seen some pics of your military vehicles and some of them have the Ohio Historical Vehicle tag displayed....Fred for one.
Why do you guys do this?
The Ohio Revised code allows historic military vehicles that are so tagged to have the registration number painted on to the front and back in lieu of the tag display-I posted the info on this on the old forum, but who knows where that went.
Here is the quote from the ORC:
"Notwithstanding section 4503.21 of the Revised Code, the owner of an historical motor vehicle that was manufactured for military purposes and that is registered under this section may display the assigned registration number of the vehicle by painting the number on the front and rear of the vehicle. The number shall be painted, in accordance with the size and style specifications established for numerals and letters shown on license plates in section 4503.22 of the Revised Code, in a color that contrasts clearly with the color of the vehicle, and shall be legible and visible at all times. Upon application for registration under this section and payment of the license fee prescribed in division (B) of this section, the owner of such an historical motor vehicle shall be issued historical vehicle license plates. The registration certificate and at least one such license plate shall be kept in the vehicle at all times the vehicle is operated on the public roads and highways in this state. If ownership of such a vehicle is transferred, the transferor shall surrender the historical vehicle license plates or transfer them to another historical motor vehicle the transferor owns, and remove or obliterate the registration numbers painted on the vehicle."
We just painted ours on the front bumper and the rear bump stops in 3" block letters - black on tan - and keep a copy of the section of the law in the glove box (for those less informed law enforcement agents) along with the Historical tag.
No unsightly tag to draw attention
No license plate light to rig up.
So why do you guys display yours?
