Historic Vehicle Plates: Pros/Cons in Ontario, Canada

[Harry Moon]

In BC we have similar conditions attached to our very low cost Antique Plates.
Western Command has worked out and worked with ICBC(Govt Insurance) regular club events and standard authorizations, gun shows, Museums, annual events etc. We also have a procedure for authorizing one off events even for only one MV. Works good and when my truck was out on loan for one of our convoys I found out the insurance was prompt and fair. The one offs are useful for our more remote members isolated by distance. The club also has public liability insurance through membership in the NACCP, as many events or parades insist on such organizational insurance separate from vehicle insurance.
All that for only $40.00 a year for Western Command and typically less than $100 for antique insurance (public liability only)
Now the club minutes should reflect all this and emails with dates are used to verify this.
As a precautionary note, a past president was killed in his jeep more than 30 years ago and as there was no record, or indeed authorization, therefore there was no insurance. Lesson learned and with proper record keeping we pretty well have something to drive to or at just about anytime.
