1960s in PA. During WWII the "sticker" was a small piece of metal you screwed on. The President is a fink. |

In MI we got two plates up till the 70's. Got tags in 80's and one plate for life if you transfer it from car to car. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The ones in WWII IIRC were just for 1944 in PA and they are a partial-collectible. Back then all cars renewed in March so at the start of the war the 1943 plates were probably all made or so far along that they just issued them, but 1944 they conserved steel. The ones issued for 1945 were near war-end so steel might have been more available. Most states vary. Today NY makes plates for a few other states. The President is a fink. |

It's always bugged me that they make us register our cars every year. Why not every 4 years like our drivers license, what's the difference. At least give us the option. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

NY was for 2 and AZ gave the option of 1 or 2, fwiw in AZ your drivers license is good to age 65. Cars may trade too often to make 4 years worth the hassle? The President is a fink. |

Collect and fill stamp books and redeem for prizes (or products as it were). I think my mother got them for buying gas and for groceries. I seem to recall her being upset if she left the business and she had not gotten any, and the clerk hadn't offered them. (because both would be chatting usually and both forgot) You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
