Manufacturer 's License Plates

 

State issued, manufacturer  license plates began in 1910 and continue to this date.

During the period 1910 to 1934, Dealer and Manufacturer were synonymous, as both Dealers and Automobile Manufacturers used the same license plates, all ending with the suffix alpha letter "M".  

This section will begin with the issues 1935 to date.   For the period 1910-1934, see the "Dealer" license plate section on the home page, or CLICK here.
