Eric Hibbs (aka 31tudor) [ View ] [ ehibbs@nuteltech.com ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] St. George, Utah (435) 668-1401  Eric Hibbs

On our way to Missouri a few weeks ago we stopped to stretch our legs in a Kansas antique store. Neat little place. Can you believe I found a pair of NUMERICALLY SEQUENTIAL 1932 license plates??? Hows this for a neat combo? Now if I only lived in Iowa and owned two deuces... sigh. Might throw 'em on eBay just to see what happens! There's a set of 1932 Utah plates on eBay right now bid up to $480!

Posted by roofcam34  -  06/05/2008 08:44 PM Should have grabbed them. Beginning July 1st, in Iowa, you can put the plate matching the year of your rod/car on the vehicle, if you can find one. Bet a few would pay good bucks for a couple of thoose.

Most old plates don't go for big bucks I bought my 32's for about 20 bucks. Although special plates go for more like Manufacture Plates. and other special ones. Best places to find are antique shops and flea markets Jack HenryThe32d [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Bloomfield Hills, Michigan   Posted by TYCHOOCHOO  -  06/06/2008 09:54 AM I would start the bidding at $500 or higher. Tommy choo choo [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] MT. SINAI, New York Charter Member since June 2007   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/06/2008 10:31 AM Hey Roofcam, I DID buy 'em! Maybe I should wait for the first week of July to list 'em on ebay? In Utah you can run YOM (year of manufacture) plates, but like most states you're required to have BOTH plates to register the car with them. Henry, different states have different values. California, Arizona and Utah have always been pretty pricey. I've noticed a lot of eastern states have almost no market for vintage plates... strange. I paid $175 for my 41 Utah plates that are on my --what else?-- 41 Ford. They're fair condition but cleaned up pretty nice. I had a pair of VERY nice '62 Utah plates on my '62 Buick, $100. Bought a set of '50 plates for my dad 10 years ago for $75, and a pair Tommy, I don't think I'll start 'em that high. I don't need to get rich off of them and want to get a couple of bids, know what I mean? Still, what a unique find wouldn't you agree? Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by 50pickup  -  06/06/2008 12:13 PM I found a couple sequential 48 TEXAS TRUCK-TRACTOR plates in Texas last year. One was restoreable, the other was swiss cheese. I got the good one for $10 or 15. My truck was originally titled in TX. Does anyone know? were they for farm or Over the road semis??? 50pickup [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] POTTERVILLE, Michigan   Posted by roofcam34  -  06/06/2008 12:30 PM Also in Iowa, but I don't know when it goes in to effect, or the exact details, we will be able to eliminate the front plate and just have a sticker on the windshield. Been trying to find the criteria, but not successful thus far. Leo (roofcam34) [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Sioux City, Iowa   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/06/2008 01:19 PM Hey roofcam, if you find that article please post it! Utah requires front and rear plates on all cars. One local jack ass cop has been targeting every Corvette he sees and give them a ticket. Who wants to run a front plate on a Vette??? I'd like to see if we could have SAN help us push a similar initiative to Iowa's and have a windshield sticker! Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by roofcam34  -  06/07/2008 01:20 AM Eric...I'll post it, and/or PM it to you, when I find it. I saw a very brief note about it in a recent magazine. Should be able to run it down. Leo (roofcam34) [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Sioux City, Iowa   Posted by sach  -  06/08/2008 07:53 AM Any one know how many plates are required in Minnesota ? I have 2 plates from there that were on my car when I purchased it, one from 1941 and the other from 1942. They are both in excellent shape and were probably the last two years the car was registered. sach [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Cana, Virginia   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/09/2008 03:54 PM Listed. Ebay item 230260620918 Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by roofcam34  -  06/10/2008 02:45 AM Eric....your eBay add looks good. I've run into a wall trying to find more info on the sticker versus plate issue, searching via the internet. I will be going to my county licensing office in a few days, and I'm guessing that the ladies running that office will be able to enlighten me about it. They are always on top of all the current regulations and those that are in the works. I'll let the guys in my cruisers group know about your eBay offer. A few of them drive '32s. FYI....The 22 prefix is the number for Clayton County. Prefix numbers were used in Iowa from 1922 through 1978, to identify the appropriate county for the tags. Clayton County is on the other side of Iowa from me. Leo (roofcam34) [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Sioux City, Iowa   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/10/2008 10:17 AM Thanks Leo! I looked on the Iowa DMV site and found nothing. Clayton County huh? I love learning about stuff like this, gives the plates so much more meaning! Thanks for passing the word along to your buddies! Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/10/2008 07:20 PM I'm surprised, already got a bid for the opening amount and there's 8 1/2 days still left. So it looks like they're already sold, now lets see how high they go. Anyone wanna take a guess? Think it'll make it to $100? Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/11/2008 01:54 PM Leo, I included your blurb about Clayton County, thank you! There are 24 views and 5 people watching, probably people from here. I tried to also add it to a second category, but by the time I figured out how I had a bid and now can't re-list it. It would have been under collectibles/transportation/license plates/US:IOWA. Dang it, probably would have had more interest if it weren't just listed in ebaymotors. Oh well, live and learn. Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by roofcam34  -  06/12/2008 01:07 AM Eric....you don't want to make too much money on this deal, or we may lose you as a full timer on eBay! Leo (roofcam34) [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Sioux City, Iowa   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/12/2008 12:41 PM Nah, don't have enough valuable stuff of value to sell there! Nor do I have the time! Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/19/2008 12:22 PM Whew, good thing I didn't start 'em at $500. Only 3 1/2 hours left and only one bid. Looks like they're only going for $50. Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by 31tudor  -  06/19/2008 04:37 PM SOLD! $61 plus $15 shipping. Thanks for passing the word. Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by lenbeal  -  06/20/2008 05:08 PM I found in a Tennesse barn a while back a 1933 original California plate. Think I should put it on ebay. Thing was nailed up in the upper barn loft, stack next to some hay.

I haven't yet made to my county seat, but will, no later than next week. Leo (roofcam34) [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Sioux City, Iowa
