Pair of New Jersey Historic Vehicle License Plates, 1978-1986

01

Artifact Overview

Owners who collect and restore antique automobiles can apply for state "historic" vehicle plates. The vehicle qualifications for these plates usually require cars to be over a certain age and used for limited purposes and not as a main source of transportation. New Jersey issued plates, like this one, for qualifying vehicles during the late 1970s and into the mid-1980s.
