Steel Shortage May Halt 1943 License Plates in Iowa
Iowa may face no 1943 license plates for cars and trucks due to a steel shortage tied to national defense. If forced, 1942 plates would receive small clips for 1943 tags, with future years using clips on 1942 plates. Iowa DMV officials note production at Anamosa reformatory uses large steel quantities, while a five year plate plan could be adopted if shortages continue.
