We sell that book where I work. It actually has some pretty good information in it. The author, Eddie Paul, built all the cars for both movies and used to be the head stuntman on TV shows like the Dukes of Hazzard. He knows his stuff.
Specialty Plate Program
The Specialty Plate Program allows approved organizations to advocate their interests, charge a fee above the $20.00 PennDOT fee and provides for a distinctive license plate.
Specialty Plates are manufactured in our standard plate colors - blue, white, and yellow. The organization’s name appears across the bottom of the plate and “Pennsylvania” is printed across the top of the plate. The 3" x 3" canvas area on the left side of the plate displays the organization’s emblem or logo using graphic printing that offers color and intricacy of detail.
Specialty Plates are currently available for passenger cars, motor homes and trucks with a registered gross weight of 9,000 pounds or less. Specialty Plates are not available for motorcycles and trailers.
To qualify for the Specialty Plate Program, an organization must meet the following criteria:
Be a Non-profit organization;
Have as one of its primary purposes, services to the community, which results in a contribution to the welfare of others;
Be based, headquartered, have a chapter or licensed in Pennsylvania;
Not be offensive in purpose, nature, activity or name, as determined by the Department;
Guaranteed a minimum of applications (negotiable) before any plate will be produced.
If your organization would like to be a part of the Specialty Plate program please contact Penni Bernard, Specialty Plate Program Coordinator by email at pbernard@state.pa.us for a complete program packet.
That rules Whitey out… PittSpeed is a sole-proprietorship.
However, it’s not hard to get non-profit status, just hard to get tax exempt status for your non-profit corporation.
(BTW, if you make under a certain amount of money per year ($3,500 it was last year), you don’t have to file tax returns for your non-profit corporation.
