Re: [Chrysler300] YOM License Plates

["Gary Holm" <gholm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I bought My 61 G convt., It was all as oridginal.  The plates were 
Black with yellow #s.  I found a set  of correct Oregon plates on a 62 new 
port. I took them ,with title, registration and $85 to the DMV and put them 
on. With some restrictions they are good for the life of the car in Oregon. 
Restrictions are basically that I don't use it for a daily driver and a 
grocery getter. No one in their right mind would do that with a beautiful 
brute anyway.   Gary Holm  in Cool Clear So. Ore.
