1942 License Plates
of the US, Canada, and the World
Here are photographs of the plates that were issued in the first full
year of US involvement in WWII. I do not own all these plates. I received
help in the form of photographs from several people listed at the bottom.
I have placed a WANTED notice next to the ones I don't have. Please see
this List
of other WWII vintage plates I buy quantities of. I am looking for
more of the ones I collect.
Please email me if you have any I am missing or ones I collect.
