A Little Piece Of History
Permalink  

Thought i would share this with you all.My Good friend Richard Chandler is an avid license plate collector.He has over 50,000 and growing.He gave me a set of B.C plates from 1967 that are brand new in the plastic wrap and have never been registered.What got him started was his father Howard Chandler Jr. gave him this #4 plate 25 yrs ago.It is registered to his grandfather Howard Chandler Sr.As far as he knows #1 is in a museum as it was registered to the Prime Ministers car and #2,3 are believed to be destroyed.It is a very thick solid slab of leather.The gentleman driving the car is his grandfather and the two guys in the back seat are the Eaton brothers from Eatons Department Stores.I thought this was a cool piece of automotive history,hope you like it.

That is sooooo cool...thanks for sharing this!.

That Chandler name is certainly well known in eary car history...any realtion to the US Chandler Motorcar family?.

Funny he's driving the Caddy Ray...probably paid the Eaton boys 17 dollars for it and is dropping them off at Ebineezer Addison's place!.
