Colorado License Plates
Written by Jake on November 2, 2009 – 9:31 pm -1913 was the first year Colorado issued their license plates. Before this, cities would issue numbers and you made your own plate. The 1913, 1914, and 1915 Colorado license plates were made of porcelain. The numbers on the 1919 and 1920 Colorado plates were individually cut pieces. They were then spot welded on the heavy license plate blank. 1920 large county plates were very large. Some measured 5 1/2" X 16", while others measured 6" X 14" with numbers 5/8" wide and 4" tall. The 1931, 1932, 1933, and 1934 Colorado license plates were stamped of very heavy metal and were very difficult to bend.

1982 Florida License Plate Error
Written by Jake on August 19, 2009 – 8:38 pm -Back in January, we did a blog post on License Plates with Errors. One of our readers, Colin, left a comment about a plate he came across that we thought was very interesting. We wanted to share it with our readers so Colin was nice enough to send us some pictures and he also told us about how he came across the Error Plate. Below is Colin's story and a picture of his 1982 Florida License Plate.... In 1982, I transferred from New York To Tampa, Florida. One of the Tag Offices (they call them auto tags in Florida not Plates) in Tampa was located in the Hillsborough County Court House. This is where I re-registered my car.
