Florida #ThrowbackThursday 1959

            Old Florida License Plates

Beginning in 1918 and continuing through the mid 1970's, the State of Florida issued automobile license plates on an annual basis.

The first number designated the County within the State where the vehicle was registered. For example:

1 = Dade County, 2 = Duval County, 3 = Hillsborough County, and so on, based on the population size on the County.

This specimen starts with a "4" designating Pinellas as the County of registration. The letter, or letters, following the County Number, if any, identified the vehicle type. In this case the "W" was used for Passenger Vehicles weighing between 3,500 - 4,500 lbs.

The registered vehicle of this particular license plate is a 1959 Ford Thunderbird with a factory weight of 3,903 lbs.

Other vehicle specifications include a wheelbase of 113", an overall length of 205.4", a width 77", and a height 52.5" 

Although these specifications may be those of a large vehicle today, by 1959 standards, it was considered that of a compact or small coupe.

Current Florida Law allows the registration of antique or vintage licence plates to vehicles of the same year as the plates. An authentication process through the State's Capital, Tallahassee, is required. Authentication and other applicable fees do, of course, apply.
