No offense taken. I too think the "Early American" nomenclature is idiotic. I think it just goes back to when these E-A plates were first available and they never changed. There probably just were not many imports over 25 years old at the time.

Don't know if you're aware or not, but if you already have an E-A plate in CT you can display a "year of manufacture" (of the vehicle it's installed on) plate instead and keep the E-A plate in the trunk. The Y-O-M plate still has to be registered w/ DMV as belonging to a particular car that already has the E-A plate. I tried to use a white on blue CT plate (1957 - 1975) for this 220, but since the white on blue plate had a 1973 sticker, DMV would not let me use it. Too bad, that would have been cool and it would have been the original plate that was on this car.

I have a few cars over 25 years old and have E-A plates on them. It is fiscally worth it for me to use the E-A plates, whether I agree with the Early American phrase or not.

Funny how passionate people can get about liscense plates. I'm guilty of it myself.
