Jerry Roberts Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I met a guy that recently purchased a 1948 Plymouth , so I gave him the address for this site so that he might join in . He had a collection of old California license plates including some that were labeled across the top " San Francisco Worlds Fair 1939 " He gave me a 1941 plate , see photo . The 1941 plate is about 2 inches wider than a modern plate . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I forget but it was sometime in the 50's before license plate size became standard across the states... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 just looked it up 1956, agreement between US, Canada and Mexico on plate size 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Elder Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 But the license plate standardization did not extend to our territories .......Guam, Samoa, and Puerto Rico all have euro style plates long and narrow, I believe.

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 and why I defined the agreement and standardization as being between the US, Mexico and Canada.....Still lots of old world influence within their borders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hiebert Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Puerto Rico has the same size license plates as the US. I believe Guam does as well, it used to anyway, my Uncle was stationed there during the Vietnam war and has a license plate as a memento.
