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!
