Juha Paavo Kaita Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hi!I bought this early reo photo from ebay. When I scanned the photo I noticed that the has interesting register plate. I believe the figures are C1-641 IND. Could this Reo have been registeres in Indiana. What might the other letters and numbers stand for?Juha KaitanenTurku, Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Looks like C1-64 IND. You added an extra 1. Yes, probably Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Or it could be C1-641ND and be a North Dakota plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The "I" in IND is different from the "1" in C1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The "I" in IND is different from the "1" in C1.That's kinda what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Paavo Kaita Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hi!Sorry for misspelling. Letters r and t are so close in your keyboard. It is nice that you all understood what I was talking about. Now I wonder what C1 could mean. Did they have different classes of vehicles? Why was this tiny Reo classed C1? Or could it mean some area of Indiana where the Reo had her driver living. I own two Reo Model G from 1926 but would like to have a Reo like this also in my garage.Thanks for your help so far! It is great to talk with fellow enthusiasts from all over the world.Juha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 At this point in time Indiana may have been using an alpha code for counties, hence the C1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) The plate in the picture looks like a rare "pre-state" issue. The James Fox book says, for Indiana between 1905-1913 there were State, county and city issues and that city & county issues are just about non-existant. Also said plates had "IND" at right.
