Re: '56 license plate

From my own experiences it's generally no problem at all to find old license plates, restored and in the raw, with the exception of the very earliest years, perhaps the teens and back. It seems nearly every automotive flea market I attend has at least one, often several vendors selling old license plates. They tend to have the best selection for the state they live in and show at.

It's good to remember that not every vendor to the hobby uses the Internet for sales, larger old car flea markets often have a wide selection of goodies and often at terrific prices and they shouldn't be forgotten as great sources of parts, tools, literature, etc. Around here the two-day flea market at Rhinebeck NY is one of the best, covering perhaps 10 or more acres of vendors. Plus wandering a good flea market is a hobby experience not to be missed.
