Gertie got her new/old plates last week, in spite of her injuries. To do this in Montana, the plates must be of a number not in use, be legible (as confirmed by a state trooper), and more than 15 years old. You also have to permanently register the car, which means you pay the taxes on it once and never again.
This particular set was originally for a car registered in Yellowstone County, where Billings--the state's largest city--is, way down the road from here. Missoula County tags begin with "4". Another advantage of using the old ones (Ludwig has YOM plates too) is that current Montana plates are those ugly printed flimsy things that just about every other state uses anymore.
In other news, last weekend we secured the garage for our own use. Now we don't have much of an excuse to pour some serious time into our jalopies.

She looks good in her new plates. Can't wait to see her in person!
Well done. Very cool that you can do that...
