If you have a classic automobile registered in NC, you can display this tag on your car as long as you keep your real tag in the car along with the registration. Right now 1984 is the newest you can use on your car. Here is the law concerning it, straight from the DMV. Good to keep a copy of this with you as well.
You can have a Vintage tag displayed on the car, you will however have to purchase a "regular tag and registration" that must be kept in/with the car at all times so that at any time you are pulled, you will have the plate and registration card to show the vehicle is properly registered. Any motor vehicle of the age of 35 years or more from the date of manufacture may bear the license plates of the year of manufacture instead of the current registration plates, if the current registration plates are maintained within the vehicle. It falls under General Statue 20-63 (d).
Also would be cool to hang up in your shop or garage, etc for wall art. Prices range from $10-40 depending on age and condition. I have a few that are brand new never used for $20. Pre 1967 tags tend to be more expensive and pre 1956 tags tend to be lots more expensive (especially pairs). Truck tags are a little more as they are harder to find.
I can ship if need be. One tag is usually $4.10 first class to ship. Multiple would need priority mail at $7.25.
