Manitoba to issue two license plates for 1950
Manitoba motorists will receive two new license plates in 1950, the first double-plate system since 1944. Plates will be non permanent with black on white six background and new alphanumeric series starting 1A1 to 14904 and 2A1 to 2A999, then continuing with letters B, C, D, and so on. The plan aims to provide low numbers for police and eyewitness recall, while permanent plates are delayed due to processing delays.
