A big Thank You to Jason Cook for the tractor photos. I will be adding additional Tractor photos in the coming weeks.
Most of the truck photos came from elsewhere on this website. Rob performed some cleaning and sanding. Nice to see that there was still color underneath. These are Truck Validation Tabs , as you may know they were issued in place of new plates for , due to the war effort. These tabs were to be mounted in the upper left hand bolt hole to cover up While the tabs above may look pretty much alike, they all represent a different weight class starting with R and progressing to Y, and then ZZ.
Click the thumbnail images to see the class and serial number stamped below the These are thanks to Rob Baran. The last tab is actually a rare ZZ-weight class tab thanks to John Anshant. I still need a Z-class tab photo. For that year there were three S-Class serial progressions used, including SA, S00A0, S0A00, with the plate shown here being part of the second group. Here is another needed image that fills a gap, this one being a U-Weight Class Truck plate.
Still need plate images from the first two progressions. I want to thank Rob Baran for all of his help with filling a number of gaps. These are special event plates made of cardboard.
The far left is an Erie International Air Show from The other plate is also an Erie International Air Show but from That plate has no number, so possibly a prototype? Thanks to John Anshant for the photos.
Happy New Year! Website Announcements. That website is no longer in operation. I have removed most, if not all, of these external links. Concerning highs, I am happy to post highs preferably with photos, but I don't have the time or resources to actually track them.
Initially it will feature Tractor and Truck plates. This low-number American Motorcyclist Association plate dates back to , the start of their plate program. Thanks to Matt Ciecka for the photo. This plate program made its debut in The serial number reads TX Based on other over numbered plates, this plate likely still has the sticker well. This plate type dates back to and has gone through a number of iterations.
Click the link above to see a breakdown of the variations. Not sure what's going on with the yellow band along the bottom of the plate. Click the vanity page link to see this week's display. Each week I post about 8 new photos of personalized plates. The far left is a Civil Defense plate from Perry County as indicated by the 50 prefix.
While they may be from the same county, the card corresponds to a different plate. The card is the first credential I've seen to connect the plate to the vehicle on which the plate was used. These images are from Worthpoint. Does anyone know the exact years when blue on yellow and yellow on blue CD plates were issued?
Recently there was a discussion on Facebook about the inconsistent use of serial dies on some plates. Note the far left pair has two versions of the number 2 on each plate. The center pair shows number 2 variations between the upper and lower plates. The plate uses two different 4s where the openings in the center of the 4s are different sizes. The far left photo is from Worthpoint, the center photo is thanks to Robby Crowder, the right photo is from Worthpoint.
These die inconsistencies can be seen on some tractor plates, and possibly other plate types. See more variations below. There appears to be 2 different letter S dies used on these 1-Star Truck plates. The far left plate is thanks to Jeff Hinkle, the near left plate is from eBay user 51jnj The serial number reads Y This plate was on eBay and was brought to my attention by Eric Tanner.
I reached out to the plate owner, Pickersemporium01, who gave me the OK to use the image. In the mean time, the plate was bought by Rob Baran. To my knowledge this is the only Y Truck plate documented. Early Y-, Z-, and double letter class truck plates are almost always a challenge to find. PART 2: Rob received the plate, and here is how it looks after some sanding and cleaning.
Click image to enlarge. He feels it may be a candidate for sandblasting and repainting, but for now he's happy to have such a rare plate. This is the first image of a Y-Weight Class Truck plate. Thanks to Rob Baran for this hard to find plate image. The only serial progression for Y-class plates was YA, as seen in the photo.
All plates measured 6 inches by 12 inches, and were issued in pairs. Website Announcement. Effective with this week's update, I've had to split the Passenger Plate History Page into 2 sections.
The software I use is old and has weaknesses necessitating this change. I will leave the old Passenger Plate History Page in place for now, but there will be no updates beyond today. So starting today the Passenger Plate History Page has been split into two new pages as listed below. This is a personalized Street Rod plate. The photo was taken by John Anshant and shows a Mini Cooper with such a plate. PennDOT requires eligible vehicles to be a model year of or older.
It's also the first personalized Street Rod plate spotted, which was not an option until the new redundant format hit the street in late This plate also has the map outline which has not been seen so far on serial numbered plates. Here is a couple of recently spotted Municipal Government plates.
These plates are now into the N-suffix series. Plates on the visitPA - "family of plates" base were first seen in early February of , with the starting point being MGJ. The far left plate is thanks to Bruce Bufalini , while the other plate is from Preston Turner.
Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you — it's a movie prop. This screen shot was provided by Bill Young and is from the movie "The next three days". Such plates are generally easy to spot by anyone familiar with PA plates.
Still on the road! Here's a '77 base vanity plate spotted by Bruce Bufalini. Plate check shows that the registration number is still valid. It may be a little hard to read, but this is a Commercial Motorcycle plate. These were only issued for 12 years between and , and are quite rare. Plate formatting was the same from year to year with the exception of the color rotation which was the same as passenger plates.
The letter O appears on the Omnibus plate. Something also needs to be said about the use of dashes and separators.
PA does not use dashes as part of the actual registration number. They do however use dash separators and various size keystone separators on many plates. Some even use the large keystone separator such as the Penn State official plate. The dashes and separators are not a part of the registration number. Certain prefixes may also be found in the suffix position, such as Municipal MG plates.
Some plates employ a combination of prefix and suffix such as Commercial Implement of Husbandry which has a CI prefix and an H suffix. This is not always the case. A few have 2 stacked prefix letters and only 4 numbers. With the proliferation of special organization and specialty plates, it has been necessary to extend the plates codes beyond the two letters on many types.
For example Ducks Unlimited uses DU as its prefix. Then Duquesne University and Drexel University came along all wanting to use DU, so it became necessary to share the prefixes by extending them to 3 characters. Motorcycle and Moped dealer tags employ a 4 digit number, then in very small letters across the bottom of the plate are the letters MCD or MPD. These are prefixes used to designate the plate type even though they are at the bottom of the plate.
A number of plate types do not employ any prefix or suffix codes. This is not to say that there is no particular format used, only that these plate don't use any alpha prefixes.
DCNR plates are also listed at the bottom of the table. Pennsylvania Plate Coding Codes are organized by alpha-numeric format. The time period covers from the plate replacement to the present. Prefix AAA00 , this is a progressive series of 3 letters followed by 2 numbers, such as DXJ96, next is A with 4 numbers followed by 1 letter, such as A, next is A with 1 letter followed by 4 numbers such as A, next is 0AA00 , with 1 number followed by 2 letters followed by 2 numbers, such as 1AF Not all letter combinations are used.
