Default Provincial plates for MVs

Hi

I managed a few nice things at a local Flea Market. There were a few vendors of old car stuff and such and they all had a lot of old license plates.

After yakkin' with a old 50-70s zipperhead veteran not too long ago, where he left me with the notion of such things in the title of this thread, I was pleased to purchase the below plate. I am not any sort of plate collector, license or otherwise. I have a few on the wall in the garage is all. Ones I like.

I would be interested in the discussion around a plate like this and if it was in fact true that in 1960, DND MVs were licensed provincially, by type, at least in NB. That would suggest that there may be other province's plates as well.

regards
Darrell

Default M37 with NB plate

Im not sure of the year stamped on the first plate (difficult to read because of the handhold bar), but it is a NB provincial plate on this M37. Ed has posted a magnified image here: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...&postcount=130

Also an RCAF M37 with 1959 British Columbia plate.

Hi Wayne

Very nice. Thank you for that link. The license plate portion of that discussion was buried in your vehicle restoration thread and as I was apparently too rude to even see it, a belated well-done to you.

I guess what caught my attention was the word TANK and that made me wonder if there were other types of vehicle. I've seen been shown another exactly as mine above (same prefix, different #) and did see pictures online of an "I" prefix 1960 NB plate (same colours) to a MOTORCYCLE. Is it a Military plate and if so, were there other "Types", I wonder. I'm going to go through a few photo archives this weekend.

regards
Darrell

Hi

I had a look through some photo archives for more pics license plates with the vehicle type on them but no luck.

Most were hard to see or just a provincial plate with no Type on them.

Found a 1962 NB plate on a Ferret (54-82600) but sadly, it doesn't say "Scout Car" at the bottom!!

regards
Darrell

Darrell, what the heck is that ironmongery on the rear of that Ferret and do you have an applicable CFTO or equivalent for it and what leads you to believe the CFR is for that plate?
