โMaโam did you know youโre driving around with a 30-year expired tag?โ said the Hattiesburg policeman that pulled me over last year. ๐คฃ
He had not run the tag first because he didnโt know about these Historic Tags! It was just this glaringly out-of-date tag to him. (He was very nice, by the way!)
I politely said, โNo, sir, Iโm not. Let me show you my paperwork.โ And then I asked him to take a picture of said paperwork to share with his fellow officers!
I havenโt gotten pulled over since that last time. But I think Iโm up to three times total. ๐คฃ
๐ Iโm celebrating this Historic Tag fun fact today! ๐
These historic tags are one of my favorite things about driving our old cars. How cool that even the tag is vintage!
My โtag guyโ, Mr. Dave, tells me that LAMAR county tags are getting very hard to come by. Iโm glad we have secured one for all our current vehicles. We are set for now. And I donโt see any โnewโ ones coming anytime soon. ๐ญ๐คฃ We have two broncos to finish โ and now an antique tractor that has arrived in our lives.
My caption is too long so the process for running a Historic Tag in the State of Mississippi is in the comments!
