As a license plate collector who has been in the hobby for 50 years, I could tell by the die font and the number format in a (pardon the pun) New York second!

Pennsylvania was one of the first states to discontinue yearly license plate changes in 1958. Delaware was the first, in 1942. Some '42 Delaware plates are still on the road as we approach 2020!

I just put rear tires on my TWENTY-NINE year-old daily driver! It's a 1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with 225,000 miles.

They put a validation strip on the top of the old plate to conserve steel.

@gxsrtom - Petroleum isn't needed when building roads out of concrete, which lasts much longer. A stretch of PA 611 was last poured in concrete in 1940!

By the way, the plates shown were New York.

@jamesblackwell703 - Pennsylvania used to give you two new pieces of steel every March until 1951 (except during the war). They went aluminum in 1957, then started stickers in 1959. Stickers were discontinued in 2016.

@robertusa1234 - That car could probably top out at 80 or 90. Remember, the Pennsylvania Turnpike opened in 1940, and NY already had parkways posted at 50-55.

@mikestedman1988 - No, the conservatives are the ones doing that. Liberals get vaccinated and wear masks. It's not the liberals who fly huge flags from the beds of trucks.

Go to New Jersey. Self-service is illegal by state law.

They were all NY plates. The "N. Y." on the plates was covered up.

Pennsylvania did until 1958. Other states put out new plates every year, sometimes into the 1980s.

And you got TWO new license plates every year! Pennsylvania discontinued front plates in 1952. 31 states still issue front plates.
