This doesn't mean that every automobile with an off-beat license, such as those that represent the driver's initials, birthdays or telephone number, is a rolling couch-onwheels, but it does point up the fact that car plates throughout their 57-year history in this^otfntry often have conformed to individual fancy.

The only requirement was that the plate bear * the owner's initials in three-inch letters. Between that day and this the license plate has gone Joseph B.
