Passenger
It should be noted that the state first issued plates in 1906, and plates from 1906 thru 1909 were assigned to the driver rather than the vehicle. The first year that registrations were issued was 1903, done by counties and a few individual cities. To see these earlier plates, see "Pre-State".
A big thank you to Eric Tanner's "All About License Plates website for a lot of the information presented on these Passenger pages.

Starting in 1924, plate size, starting with all-numeric plates, was normally determined by the length of the serial number going from small (short) to large (long) as the number of characters increased. Next, when the all-numeric numbers were exhausted, an alpha-numeric serial numbers was used, again starting with small and enlarging as the number of characters increased.
