        321.53  NONRESIDENT OWNERS OF PASSENGER VEHICLES AND
      TRUCKS.
         A nonresident owner, except as provided in sections 321.54 and
      321.55, of a private passenger motor vehicle, not operated for hire,
      may operate or permit the operation of such vehicle within this state
      without registering such vehicle in, or paying any fees to, this
      state subject to the condition that such vehicle at all times when
      operated in this state is duly registered in, and displays upon it a
      valid registration plate or plates issued for such vehicle in the
      place of residence of such owner.  A nonresident who leases a vehicle
      from a resident owner shall not be considered a nonresident owner of
      such vehicle for the purpose of exemption under this section.  This
      section shall be operative to the extent that under the laws of the
      foreign country, state, territory, or federal district of such
      nonresident owner's residence like exemptions and privileges are
      granted to vehicles registered under the laws, and owned by
      residents, of this state.  A truck, truck tractor, trailer or
      semitrailer owned by a nonresident and operated on Iowa highways must
      have displayed upon it a valid registration plate or plates and a
      valid registration certificate, card, or other official evidence of
      its allowable weight in the state, district or county in which it is
      registered.
