Folks -
Okay, got the '47 all registered and legal after paying $367 to the DMV...
Next - I'd like to put an old yellow and black 1947 license plate on the truck. The State of Cal call them "Year of Manufacture" plates; but the DMV droid couldn't tell me if I needed one or two plates - the default was two plates, but if legally, in '47, a commercial truck only needed a single plate, then that would be okay, but it was up to me to find out. So, helloooooooo 'Bolters!
Can any of you truckimotive historians (hysterians??) tell me what would have been "correct" back in '47? I can find a single plate easily; pairs of plates are VERY dear - I only found one set, for $550; that AIN'T gonna happen...
If any of you know of sources for old plates, I'd be interested in checking them out as well.
We're going to drive "Matilda" home today, and show this one-dog town some CLASS!
TIA,
John
