The Ford Barn

usered · 06-06-2013, 01:15 PM

I found a box of old Missouri license plates, they were 1930, 1931 and 1932 all still in the original wrappers.

I took two of the 1931 plates and put them on my tow truck (1931 Pickup) and my 1931 Speedster.

How many times have you seen consecutive numbered historic plates!

Nice!, but not fair.

That garage is just way too uncluttered and clean.

usered · 06-06-2013, 07:10 PM

This is my "clean" garage, I have another that is the "working" garage! I don't show pictures of it

seldom.

but I did buy two 31 Florida plates that were very close- one ending in 6 and its mate ending in 8.

bought the first from a plate dealer in FL, got the 2nd one years later from TX via Fordbarn. did not know the numbers were close until the 2nd one arrived.

Awesome! If your state allows YOM plates on the road, those 1932 's will likely fund a pretty nice project.

usered · 06-07-2013, 09:48 AM

Missouri does allow YOM but I sold the lot to a dealer, kept a few for friends etc. Still have two sets (consecutive numbers) 1931, who knows I may start another project or two.

SteveM · 06-07-2013, 06:29 PM

I have seen a set of three CT plates with the SAME number. I think that they were '28, 30 and '31'.

About 6 years ago I saw a barn SHINGLED with unused New York plates. Guy would go to the DMV and get all the unissued plated every year. Tops looked great, bottoms, not so good. I'll have to dig out the photos. Barn was torn down about a month later. Bob

up at the minnesota state fair they have a building with a SET of licence plates with matching numbers from 32-49!

When I was a kid, growing up in West Virginia, a friend's dad had special ordered plate no. 222-222 for years. They were nailed up in his garage and ranged from the late 20s to about 1950. I sure wish I knew what happened to them. I did go back and look, but they were gone. I figure they got thrown away.

That sure is a neat find! What happened to the rest of the box?
