Colorado year of manufacture plates
I just found out about this a few weeks ago and I was just wondering if anyone else here has gone thru the process. You have to locate and purchase a pair of original Colorado vintage plates and register them to your classic car.
I picked up a pair of 1970 plates for my Challenger today and will be sending in the paper work soon.

Ed the way I read it they can be used anytime as they are going under the same rules as a Horseless Carriage Plate. I’m no lawyer but here is the current statute, I asked a traffic officer I know about it a few days ago. He had no idea what I was talking about, so I will be carrying a copy of the statute with my registration.
CRS 42-12-302. Original plates
A person shall not drive the vehicle bearing the original plates except as
authorized in section 42-12-301 (5).
CRS 42-12-301
(5) A person may drive a motor vehicle with the special registration plates
authorized by this section or section 42-12-302 on the streets and highways, but only:
(a) To and from assemblies, conventions, or other meetings where such vehicles
and their ownership are the primary interest;
(b) On special occasions, for demonstrations and parades;
(c) On occasions when the operation of the vehicle on the streets and highways
will not constitute a traffic hazard; and
(d) To, from, and during local, state, or national tours held primarily for the
exhibition and enjoyment of such vehicles.

I paid $150.00 for them and they are hanging on my garage wall...

Thanks for posting the statute. I'll print it out and keep in in the car just in case.

I had a set of 64 Colorado plates on my 1964 Corvette and was told by the DMV that I could run them all the time as long as I kept the new registration and the original plates with my car at all times, like under the seat or in the glove box.
