PLATE NUMBER ONE!

      PLATE NUMBER ONE!

   Yesterday I told you about the first

family to make a cross country car

trip from California to New York  It

wad 1908 so there's a good chance

they had a license plate on their

Packard even if they were from

California. New York was the first

State to require license numbers on

cars. As a matter of fact it happened

on this very date in 1901! But while 

the State required license numbers, it 

did not provide the license plates! That

was up to the car owners! Some painted their

numbers on pieces of wood or even

on the side of their vehicle! Imagine

how that system would work in

Pennsylvania today where the State

allows motorists 280 choices for license

plate categories! It's also one of the

States that only requires a license plate

on the back bumper. Easier to spot a

get away car than one heading towards

you I suppose! At least we know license

plates serve a good purpose in Florida.

You can always tell when its Fall in the

Subshine State!

The license plate colors change there

like the leaves do here! Hope your

registration is up to date  and that all your

NEWS is food!
