License Plate Collection

[shooter65]

These are my collection of license plates. I’d be interested to see what others have. I think my most rare and valuable plate is my Military Occupation 1957 Okinawa Officer’s Plate.

The two at the top are from my first new truck and my wife's first new car.

This one is in the worst shape, it's a 1958 PA plate.

The White plate is a Paper Temporary plate. These are very rare because most disintegrated.

This is the plate I restored for my Fury. It's now completely restored with a 70 Registration Expiration Sticker and registered to my car.

I have no idea where I store mine at the Moment. I remember having one from the WWII years from around 1942 that was made out of some sort of pressboard.

OHHHHHHHHH you don't want to know..... but here's some...

I remember having one from the WWII years from around 1942 that was made out of some sort of pressboard.

Probably a 1943-48 Illinois license plate. They were made out of pressed soybean board. Several other states like Arkansas and Montana tried that too during the war.

That would be interesting to see. I only have a handful of license plates.

All of your plates are exceptional. Do you restore them yourself?

A few more pictures including some of my North Dakota plates. The Blue and white X plate next to the 1916 Wisconsin is a 1934-35 New Zealand.

All that are restored. A lot of them (mostly the South Dakota ones) were done years ago when I first started and didn't know what I was doing, They were also in really bad shape and show it. They came out a lot better as time went on and I learned how to prep, repair and paint. Here's some as found pictures of some of the plates in the pictures.

Wouldn't happen to have a 1954 Oklahoma car tag you'd like to trade on, do you? I have a '52 and a '53, but I need a '54 for my Hudson.
