That's what I did,as the state of Illinois allows it.
I contacted an antique license plate collector advertising in Hemmings Motor News back in the 1990's and asked him if he had any Missouri,(where my Chevelle was made & sold too) 1970,(year of my car)...and quite possibly showing the month of October,(when my car was assembled).
Not only did he have one for me,(Missouri only required 1 plate back then as opposed to Illinois wanting 2 plates),he had one showing 396,as well as X2C.
It's a perfect match,as Missouri plates back then displayed the Year the plate expired,not issued.So a Missouri plate showing 1970,was really issued in 1969,which was when my Chevelle was assembled in the state of Missouri and in the month of October too.
