Nice Surprise

25 years ago, I had another very nice '49 that I drove daily for about 10 years. I sold it to my best friend but kept the front license plate as a keepsake as he would register and get his own plates.

Now that my current '49 is close to being on the road, I wondered if resurrecting the old plate was possible, Turns out, I was able to do so. Pretty happy about that

Considering how screwed-up other aspects of our state have become, the DMV has always been pretty easy to work with. Congrats!

For some reason, this plate reminds me of 70s attire. Especially the short colorful shorts adorned by men and women alike.








And longboards.
