42 Bill. Don't bring it to Ohio with Blue Dots. You'll get a ticket. They are not legal here.

So my Blue Dot is still illegal, eh?

Here I am, running around Ohio every single day in my '53 pick-em-up truck, which has a Blue Dot. ( But only one - none of that sissy optional extra right side taillight for me, nosirree. )

No cop has ever noticed. I think they are too shocked by seeing the vehicle go past in February when it is only 5 degrees out. Not to mention, they are probably too young to know what a Blue Dot is!!!

I asked a cop one time about blue dot and he said that they don't mess with vintage cars or trucks that have blue dot. They also don't mess with you if you don't have a front plate. He said that cops know that the cars are not driven that much so they don't usually mess with us unless they are rookie cops. This is in California anyway...Oscar

The blue dots are ilegal in Wisconsin also and they will stop you for not having a front plate unless its cold outside.
Just have some one drive your vehicle with blue dots while you follow them.The brake lights are almost impossible to see during the day.

I think blue dots are illegal in Oregon also. But I've run them on various (usually older) cars for years. Never had any trouble. I suppose if you were driving crazy or drunk or whatever and got stopped for that and the cop got pissed, he could write you up for the blue dots also. Not likely in an older car IF you're minding your P's and Q's.

As for the front plates, they are NOT required in Oregon on older cars with permanent plates or "limited use" plates. On the newer cars with "regular" registration, front plates (and rear) are required. Here again, I think the cops cut some slack. My 56 has regular registration and plates BUT, I run a "Fuller Chevrolet" plate on the front. Some years ago I searched the www for "Bill's Chevrolet" and "Fuller Chevrolet" and so on. Found a "Fuller Chevrolet" in GA and contacted them. They sent me some of their "advertising" stuff. Included in the package was a couple of "Fuller Chevrolet" license plates. Pretty neat......

Bill.

When did all this "blue dot" tail light stuff start? I never really understood the blue dot thing?

I remember the cool cars having blue dots when I was very young...would say about 1941, so they have been around for years

In Ohio Front Plates are required on modern vehicles and antique vehicles with historicle vehicle plates unless you have year of manufacture plates then a front plate is not required. You must first have historicle plates then you can register a year of manufacture plate. You must always have your historicle vehicle plate with the vehicle.

How about seat belts in your state? Here in California seat belts are only required for 1973 cars and up. How about in your state.

Well guys, the $35,000 47 coupe auction has ended.........and guess what..........no offers, so hang in there and maybe they'll cut the price in half again the next time around.

Seat belts were required in 1962 for new cars sold in Wisconsin....and today any car from 1962 and up still requires belts.

Well you got us beat in Calif. Thanks Gene...Oscar

To the best of my knowledge in Vermont, if the car had seatbelts new from the factory, you need them now.
