This 2007 base New York Press plate was spotted on 33rd Street between 8th and 9th Avenues on Sunday.
Looks like the first spotting of the boxless NYP plates.
Shame about the illegal plate frames!

Last week we took a look at a 1992 Base Passenger Plate. This week we take a look at a 1999 (sitckered to 2001) Passenger Plate.
In November 1999, New Jersey started using plate stickers, with the first of these stickers expiring in November 2000. This example is stickered with a February 2001 sticker.

Last week we took a look at a 1979 Base Vanity. This week we take a look at this early 1992 Base Passenger Plate.
This plate was the 1007th issued back in 1992 when the new reflective plates were issued.

Last week we took a look at a 1985 Victoria Passenger plate. This week we give a nod to Black Friday with this 1979 Base Vanity Plate .
Sometimes vanity plates actually spell out words. In this case we are getting a two-fer. One can only wonder what the meaning of the plate is. Is it a wet Toyota or something totally different.
Now we aren’t sure when exactly this plate was issued, but we can narrow it down from 1979 to 1991.

Last week we took a look at a 1959 Disabled American Veterans Sample. This week we head down under and take a look at a plate from another Garden State with a 1985 Victoria Passenger plate.
First issued starting in 1977, these passenger plates from the Australian state of Victoria had the slogan Garden State on them. So until about 1994, there were two states, albeit on different sides of the planet, with the same slogans. Since New Jersey was using the slogan on their plates since 1959, one wonders where they might have gotten the idea from!
