Post a photo of your antique Model T License Plate

Post by WayneJ » Tue Mar 24, 2020 11:23 am

While we are sheltering in place, I thought an "Audience Participation" activity might offer some distraction. Get off the couch and post a photo of your antique, Model T era (1908-1927) license plate. Let's see how many years, states, and countries we can post.
Here is an Illinois license plate from 1915:

That’s neat Wayne. I’m assuming the slots are for the front plate held on the radiator?

Yes the slots are for mounting in front of the radiator. The plates themselves are huge: 7.25" H x 14.25" W.

1912 California plate on my '12 Touring. This is no doubt supposed to be on the front with a solid plate on the rear. But I only have the one plate, so on the rear it goes. DMV doesn't seem to know the difference.

Not a T but I'm proud of it. I think it was 1956 North Dakota issued pioneer plates. This is a 1912 Hudson that has #12 on it. This plate was issued to this car. Also have a standard ND plate for 1912.

"BERTS" was purchased new by my Grandfather, Bert Savage, in November 1925. This touring car has always been in our family and I am now the present caretaker. This picture was taken durning the filming of a movie "Just Like the Men" which is soon to be released and was originally written in 1912. The license plate is to honor the first owner.

Here are mine on the 1922 coupe.

Steve Tomaso,-- Those 1914 Wisconsin plates are illegal in Washington.
You should send them to me before you get in trouble. :D :D :D

Michael Peternell, that's a 1916 plate. Any chance the former owner thought the car was a '16?

Steve Jelf, actually Kansas didn't start dating plates until 1921. All from 1913-20 were undated.

Before 1913, many towns and cities issued their own plates. Here's a porcelain McPherson city plate I have registered on our 1910 touring.

This is the 1928 plate on the back of my 1913 touring. The car had the same number plate attached to the wood firewall and it had been there so long it had damaged the wood behind it. I have no reason not to believe this was the last year this car was registered and more than possible it has not run since 1928 also.

Here's my set, came with the car when i bought it off Kent Sumner in 2017, thanks Kent ! 23 Wisconsin plates.
Sadly we can't register old plates in the Netherlands, but the plates allowed on your historic vehicle are dark blue and not that bad to the eye as the big reflective bright yellow ones mandatory on modern cars

Unrestored plates on my 1923 Runabout. The rear plate view is with the Ford-O oil lamp and bracket. I have the spare in a running board mount. When I put the spare on the back with the regular Ford mount I put the light and plate on that spare bracket.

My Betsy is a 1924, but she was titled as a 1923 by the previous owner. I chose not to correct the year when I applied for a new title (one less thing to explain to the DMV).

I toyed with the idea of replacing my Missouri antique plate with an original year of manufacture plate, but which year? To cover both bases, I bought both a 1923 and a 1924 plate. Right now they are just hanging on my garage wall. :)

The lower plate was on the 8in1 bed when I got it from Dave. It was folded under, so I didnt know it was there till I got it home. I cleaned it and straightened it and bolted it on the bed even tho its a trailer plate. The top one goes on my roadster when I figure out where I put it. :oops:

Leo, Anja's dad saved that one, she inherited it and so I now have it. I never knew the car it was on (a 1950-something Mercedes, I think), but the number looks like it was not long after the provincial letter designations were replaced with the two-letter, four-number plates.

There is a story about that car. The family was camping in Cornwall (caravan behind the car, tents for the kids). They had just pulled into the campground and the woman running it was looking at the license plate and said to Papa, "I'm trying to place your accent. Is it Dutch?" Her English accent caused "Dutch" to sound more or less like "Dotch." Papa saw her looking at the car and understood her to have said, "Is it a Dodge?" He answered, "No, it's a Mercedes." I think she was confused by the conversation. :D

actually Kansas didn't start dating plates until 1921. All from 1913-20 were undated.
I learned that when I bought and restored a tag when registering our 21 touring. The 1915 Kansas tag for our runabout restoration is currently on a book shelf waiting to be installed on the car. I'm hoping that the car will be all back together and back on the road in a month or so.

LicensePlate.jpg
In Califunny the only plate that matter is the rear one, so you really don't need anything on the front...which was good for me, I couldn't keep my front plate on the front, it always no matter what I tried kept coming lose and falling off on one side (and always the same side too). I even tried tie wraps and it still came off on that same one side....the tie wrap wasn't broken or anything, just the plate wasn't on it, yet it was the night before when I put it on. :?
Fun never quits!

EDIT: 1919-1920 Colorado License Plate.

In 1920 Colorado had a welded plate the same as 1919 with a different "Seal" on it. Later in the year, the welded plates were running out and expensive to purchase (by the State) so they returned to stamping the plates as was done by most other states. The welded plates were an attempt to manufacture the plates by the State of Colorado instead of purchasing them from outside vendors.

Dale,
Arizona issued solid copper plates in 1932, 1933, and 1934. There were several years that plates were painted a copper color (1916, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1936, etc.). Today, Arizona issues solid copper plates for Horseless Carriage, Classic and Historical vehicles. The 1915 plate on my coupelet is only the second year that Arizona issued a license plate.

Most Texas license plate collectors will swear that 1924 is the first full size Texas plate with the year on it. I have original small size Texas plates dated 1921 and 1922. But also have this rare 1923 set (rare because state issued to owners weren’t dated) The Key is the first letter ‘D’ for dealer.

1935 Michigan license plate on 1924 Ford Model T, also Illinois state car show plates 2018-2019

Post by BasketCase24 » Sun Mar 29, 2020 7:56 pm

The picture of the car shows the original plate first used by my family in 1934. We also have the title, registration and window stickers from 1934.

The new plates are Illinois personalized plates. Each year classic car owners can get a custom plate that is good from July 1 until the Illinois state car show in September.

This is the Year Of Manufacture plate on my 1914 Touring. I believe 1914 was the first year that that California supplied the plate. Prior to that, the state gave you a number and the owner had to buy the digits and fix them to the vehicle.

1924 Wisconsin, getting them blasted so I can repaint them. Are they supposed to be black with white lettering?

I have tried repeatedly to post the JPG pictures of my plates without success. I have no clue how to change it to a GIF. Any suggestions?

1916 was the first year for permanent plates in Washington state.

1925 Wisconsin license plate. Wisconsin apparently liked to be thrifty, plates were different widths, depending on how many characters.
