Item Description
6x12". Embossed text. Produced by the Southern California Automobile Club in January of 1963. 1,000 plates were made w/numbers ranging from 000-999. The prized plate was JFK 464, which could be read as Kennedy for 1964, promoting a re-election bid. That plate went to a local carpenter named Sam Priven, who drove around the community w/a car w/"Kennedy" painted all over it. This plate is the one preceding Priven's in the sequence, w/"63" having significance given that it was the year the plates were produced and unbeknownst to the creators, the fateful year of JFK's assassination. Some scattered scratches and paint loss seen on yellow text. VF. Photograph of the plates not included in lot.
