Frank Elder Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 In nebraska, if you can find one plate with a tag it is all you need. Luck was with me the day I found a matching set of plates with 47 tags. I picked them up at the freemont swap meet, nice size one for NE. I live in Douglas county, which is 1. Plates I found where in 6 county. Due to rarity they allow us to use out of county tags. I had them restored by a young gentleman down by lincoln. Will have pictures of his work soon.

Don Jordan Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 You sure have to know what you're doing when dealing with plates. In 1979 (or so) I went to an estate auction. I bought a box of California plates for next to nothing. Lots of 40 plates. I gave a perfect pair of 47s to a friend. I had paid about $11 for them. At the time it was no big deal. When I wanted to get YOM plates on my 47 I didn't have anymore so I went to the Pomona (Ca) swap meet. I found a restored set -THE GUY WANTED $350. This is when I found out in 1945 California cars had only one plate. I had one and the guy was trying to offer me less because I didn't have a set. Tricky. Anyway - 47 California plates are worth so much because they used the same plate for 2 or 3 years. In 48 California used a 47 plate with a metal tag that was put in the upper corner. My 48 pick up (Chevy) and my 47 Plymouth have YOM plates. It's a little thing but I think it gives them a nice touch. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Posted September 26, 2008 Yes, I think it's a nice thing. I haven't bothered to register my 47 plate as I like the antique tags I got back in the 70s. You can tell they are antique tags and have an older style number. They issued a pair of those antique ones....so I use them both. Not a big deal to me. Quote
