My car has OWF xxx, but the plates are not original to the car. The plates
were original to a Sunbeam Alpine that was from the area where I currently
live (Whittier, CA). Did the letter portion designate a particular area where
the plates were issued or where the owner of the car resided?
I ask as I grew up in a small town in Ohio (the 60's, baby) and the plates for
the residents all started with SS or ST. This was the case for many years and
when the plates changed color each year the car would receive replacement
plates with the same letters/numbers. I am not sure how long this practice
was used and I seriously doubt they still do it.
Just curious,
Jere Teepen

Subject: [Tigers] California license plate sequence
I've just reviewed the e-article by Hagerty regarding getting vintage license
plates for California.
>From personal knowledge I know that the gold on black PAV ### went on a 1964
car (my first car ;-) and XIA ### on a 1969 (dad's Doge Coronet).
What I'm wondering is if anyone has an approximate knowledge of what sequences
would be appropriate for each production year of the Tiger, i.e.
1964 through 1967.
1964 XXX ### through XXX ###, etc.
Anecdotes with the letter sequence from those with original plates would be
great.
Thanks
Brian
