New Car Plates For 1955 Arrive With Blue Design
1955 licence plates feature a blue background with white letters and measure six by twelve inches. The first 999 999 plates are unlettered, then a letter is added with each 100 000 plates from 11 000 000 onward. The redesigned plates align with Canadian provinces and US patterns and aim to reduce special-number requests. Hon Clare E Mapledorth emphasizes wildlife conservation education linked to hunting and fishing laws.
