Antique Historic Car (1954) FORMAT 1: 1 to 9999 First issued 1954, type still in use. Debossed border Single-digit plate
Two-digit plate
Three-digit plate Circa 1956
Four-digit plate
FORMAT 2: A000 to Z999 Debossed border Circa 1971 ~ 1985
FORMAT 3: 000A to 999Z Debossed border
FORMAT 4: AA00 to BZ99 Debossed border
FORMAT 5: CA00 to ZZ99 Embossed white border
FORMAT 6: 00AA to 99ZZ Embossed white border High plate observed: 99ZS
FORMAT 7: A00A to current high According to Steve Moskowitz, the holder of plate A00A, the graphic is a 1920 Oldsmobile Model 37 Roadster. Applications for an antique tag received after 1/31/05 get the new style plate, or a purple plate holder can replace that plate for $7.50 and a completed MV-44. All new plates will be in the A00A format - no reissues will be done of existing numbers. The new series began with A00A. Note that the characters placement is not always uniform. On some plates it has been shifted to the right. Also plate series P00A - P99Z is reserved for Person with Disability Motorcycle plates and would not be duplicated. Note that some plate holders place an image of their own vehicle over the image on the plate. In PA the use of the letters I, O, Q and U would not be used in this series.
This is the current high at the time this was added on 5/17/10.

Street Rod (1982) FORMAT 1: 0000S/R to 3999S/R First issued 1981, type still in use. Pennsylvania and STREET ROD use a bold font. The top red stripe is thinner than the bottom one. Actually the red stripes on the earliest plate don't extend to the right plate border. It is not known if this is part of the earliest format or something peculiar to this plate. Some plates have validation stickers.
FORMAT 2: 4000S/R to 4999S/R Pennsylvania and STREET ROD use a bold font. Both red stripes are the same thickness but don't extend to the border. Most plates use validation stickers. FORMAT 3: 5000S/R to current high Pennsylvania and STREET ROD have been changed to a lighter weight font. The top red stripe is again thinner than the bottom one and extends to the border. Almost all plates have validation stickers. |
