Guest De Soto Frank Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The license plate on the Ford looks like it's from California - 1934... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I believe the Chev is a 34 master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KurtB Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks again. I've looked through many more old photos and now think this photo may have been taken in Aptos California (near Santa Cruz). No cars in this photo but maybe somebody will recognize the location, think it may be related somehow. Also, I was wondering how license plates were "renewed" back in this those days.

Guest De Soto Frank Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Geat photos, Kurt B ! Back before the 1960's, many states issued new license plates every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Before the 1980s most states and provinces issued new plates every year. California was an exception, not sure how many others there were.During WW2 some areas reused plates to save metal. They had a small metal tag that clipped on the upper right corner of the plate the second year. Other places had plates made of a fibre material that resembled masonite.In 1952 only, Ontario Canada had no new plates. They reused 1951 plates plus a windshield sticker about 3" square. This was one year only, 1953 went back to new plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
