Plate of the Week: 1960 Construction Equipment in Transit
Last week we took a look at a Prop “1979 Base” New Jersey Passenger plate. This week we look at a 1960 Construction Equipment in Transit plate.
First a bit of an introduction to the type. Construction Equipment in Transit plates are used on pieces of construction equipment that need to be moved from one job site to another.
On the 1959 base, the initial Construction Equipment in Transit plates were dated, as this 1960 example shows. The dated plates only lasted two years and by the issue of the 1963 plates, there was a switch to stickers.
The switch from a yearly issued plate to a mutliyear plate meant that the A-12-³ serial format would have to change a and it did by 1964 when the format changed to an AB-12-³ one.
Thanks to Jim Moini for the 1961 and 1962 plate photos.
