Shouldn't matter.. Those placards can be moved from car to car As long as the date on the placard is valid.. The placard is valid. Just make sure you have that little price of paper that you rec'd from the DMV ( stating that you are the legal placard holder). There shouldn't be an issue. It's you that's tied to the placard ( not the car). I went through this issue with an elderly neighbor so I checked into it for her.

What if I don't have the piece of paper? I've had my placard for a year or so, so not sure about the paper but I will check. I thought the placard records noted make & model of the car, that way if you loan it to someone and they are caught there is a fine.

Thanks for the information!!
Well.... You could always go to AAA or the DMV and get a replacement piece of paper. My point was that You don't need to get a new placard just because you changed cars. You could also get handicapped plates for your car and use the placard ( you can have both) when traveling in other people's cars.
And again... It's not tied to the car, it's tied to the person that it was issued to.
As far as the paper goes... If you are challenged and cannot produce it.. Odds are they'll ticket you. It would much easier to just get a replacement and not have to worry about it.
I seriously doubt you'd be challenged to begin with, but better safe than sorry.... Just sayin.
So, you called the DMV and they just shrugged their shoulders?
I wouldn't put it past the DMV to do exactly that... Or have a recording that says " due to the high volume of callers your wait time is approximately 3 years and 7 minutes for the next available rep". " Your business is important to us... Please stay on the line".
The placard is issued for the person, not the car. We have a H/C plate on our car, plus a placard for travel in someone else's car. We have used it in a rental car, and someone else's car in Canada. Some folks in some retirement communities use them on street legal golf carts.
The problem with placards is that you have to remember to hang it on the mirror. There are some crappy towns that will fine you if you forget it, even if you show it to the judge afterward. You can't forget a plate that is bolted on.
