30 Dodge, Well I'm not going to tell you his exact plate and how it reads, but let's say you have a 1940 Ford and you have a 1940 plate that reads "1940Ford", one would automatically ask, how the heck did you get an original plate from 1940 with those exact numbers and letters? Did they even make a 1940 plate with those numbers and letters, probably not, except perhaps for the Ford Motor Company on some 1940 show car? As I stated it was approved by the DMV. Now, I have seen 1932 plates that read "Deuce", did the DMV even call a '32 Ford a Deuce, can those plates be real? I'll bet a lot goes on that the various DMV's don't know about.
