DC license plates explained

Posted by Abbott Klar Real Estate on Tuesday, January 7th, 2014 at 9:56am

So... as part of being a 'gear head' and a passionate admirer of anything with wheels, I collect old license plates.   DC has issued some fairly interesting license plates over the years.

Here are some of the most interesting old ones from my collection. (If you see any cool ones, please send me a picture for inclusion here, and if you have any extra ones lying around the garage... I'll gladly take them off your hand and make a donation in your name to your favorite local charity.)

Oldest one I have so far is a matched set of plates from 1921 that one of our clients found in a house on Eastern Ave.
1921 DC license plates
License plate from 1957 "Nations Capitol"
Washington DC license plate from 1957
License plate from 1968: Switched to "Washington D.C"
Washington DC license plate from 1968
License plate from 2001 "Celebrate & Discover"
Washington DC license plate from 2001
First year of "Taxation witout Representation"
Washington DC license plate from 2003

DC has now switched to District of Columbia on their license plates. (Might have to wait a few years to find one of these..)
