VW Beetle 1957
During Covid-19 stay-at-home conditions, a parking lot at a medical office building that would normally be nearly full was quite open. Perhaps the situation inspired folks to bring out their cars they wouldn't normally risk such as this VW Beetle.
The yellow plates are those that were in use in California from 1956-1962. California does have a Year of Manufacture (YOM) plate program in which a matching pair of previously superseded plates can be used if they coincide with the model year of the vehicle.
The rear license plate had a red renewal sticker which would indicate either 1957 or 1961. As this one had a small backlite, it would seem to indicate a 1957 model.
To protect the privacy of the owner, the letters and numerals on this plate have been completely rearranged.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
