Just popping in

Found this plate in a collection. Looks like it might be 1908 or so. Also found a contemporary photo of the owner and the car. I understand the motor may have had a French connection? Anyone know? Where would this plate be mounted originally?
Thanks for any info. John Photo of the car from the city archives:searcharchives.vancouver.ca/uploads/r/nu ... 0-4339-a024-54464b5eaec4-A37432.jpg Attach file:  packard.jpg (93.65 KB)

Probably the front face of the front seat, or possibly the dashboard. More likely the seat, tho.
In regard to the photo, tho, that isn't a Packard. I'm pretty sure it's a ca. 1911 McLaughlin Buick with "updated" rear fenders. UPDATE: It's a 1907 Pierce Great Arrow

One of the "official" languages in B.C. is French. English is the other.

It turns out the car in the OP's link is a 1907 Pierce Great Arrow.

We should have noticed the distinct lack of hub hexagons.
