Guess this is reason enough for me to Stop complaining about cat (domestic ones) paw prints tracking over our cars here at home! _________________ Sue

New York was the first state to require license plates, back in 1901. In those days, you had to make your own. Sears even sold Kits! Massachusetts was the first state to issue them in 1903.

What I find interesting is that the car looks to be either a 64/65 but wheels from a 63 and earlier model. |

Early 64s had slotted wheels but they were solid black and the beauty rings were used so silver(?) wheels and no beauty rings are still weird, if it's an early '64. _________________ How to Post Photos

How early? I had a 2nd month of production 64 that had the later 'solid' wheels...weird. |

I've seen a couple August cars with them, I almost bought a Type 34 like that.
Progressive Refinements says it was in October, 1963:
