Old License Plates In The Garage
« on: April 09, 2017, 05:10:11 PM »
Does anyone else have old plates in their garage?  I have some from my Mom & Dad's birth year (1932 & 1933), mine and my wife's birth year.  I also have a few of my old initial plates up there.  Then I have a couple from my childhood friend that now lives in England and one from Kiwi Jeff from New Zealand. 
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

I have plenty more, (and some of dad's old 70s-80-s Dealer plates) but ran out of wall space. Use to collect old tags that were issued for the model year of my cars, gave most away. I don't have any old ones as far back as you Tom.

I have a nice wee collection, and a couple of Toms in my shed, but they will soon be a boxed up, as I'm moving on soon.

Most of mine are outside the shop around the door. At night the headlights light them up at more than 1/4 mile down the road. A benefit of living in the boonies? ::)

Got a bunch, but none as old or cool as you guys.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Many of mine aren't old that is why they reflect the lights. Some go back to the 20s.
