Yeah, the last time I got a set for one of my buses, I got the same crap. Only the first ditz I got swore that no such thing as "historical" plates existed! Then the manager drone comes over, and says something like "A VW bus? Um, I could see if it was a corvette or something..." I eventually got them. Then, a year or so later, I got pulled over for a taillight (remember, this was a 1956 VW bus). The officer (CHP) takes my license and paperwork back to his car, then there's a loooong wait. He comes back and has me step out of the car, where I get a free pat-down (normally I have to pay for that!). Seems the license plate didn't register in the system... I had to convince (and I had to *sell* it) that the first 2 letter of the real plate # - "HV" aren't actually on the plate, but they *ARE* on the registration. He calls it back in with the HV pre-pended to the "712E" (I think) that was actually on the plate, they found it, and all was well. It was a little tense though! He let me off with a warning, yada yada yada.
