Is there any kind of demand for "PT" license plates? i found a great pair of Californian 1932 plates with the PT on it. Thanks

Is it a pair of '32 plates with different numbers or a pair with matching numbers? I agree with Pat, I've never seen a pair of trailer plates with matching numbers.
 
2ndgeer could be right but in case check with ALPCA.org.Its the lic plate club and organization.They will confirm exactly what "PT" stands for.
 
Maybe for big truck if it is indeed "pneumatic tires" as opposed to earlier hard rubber. Would explain why a pair. Just a guess. PT could mean many things. Private Transit, Public Taxi.....
 
My 'PT CRUISER' had 'PT' plates. :):D

If they are standard size, as offered in 1932, I would think some owner with the initials P.T. would be interested. Who cares what it stood for in 1932.

Always thought of the PT as being a reincarnation of a 30's vintage slant back.

I looked it up on the DMV website,

Appendix 1E - California License Plate Data (1914-1980)
.0120 Trailer License Plates
License plates specifically identifying commercial trailers were introduced in 1918.

So i guess they cant be any use unless you have a commercial trailer. great price and condition.

I was kinda thinking the same thing … sort of.
Isn't there some support groups for the owners of PT Cruisers?

It looks like they are matching numbers. Since there are two, it's possible they may be useable on a vehicle. On my '41 pickup I put '41 passenger car plates on it. DMV never said a word and allowed me to do it. All they want is the money. Go to DMV and tell them the PT means "pickup truck" and you might get away with it.
 
Many government cars have a special US government license plate but for state government some use the Public Transport or PT plates. They are usually for state owned official vehicles. Not all states are the same though.
