1965 British Columbia Car Licence Plates (Canada)The plate is in overall good condition with minor paint chipping, scratches and edge rust as seen in photos.
1955
- 1969
This period
is noted for some of the wildest colours ever seen on
license plates. Between 1959 and 1962 the province used,
prominently and in varying combinations the colours
Turquoise, Maroon and the green/gold of the Centenary
plate. This series only employed the one to six digit,
000-000 serial format. The Centenary
plate is also the only regular issue BC plate to ever
commemorate an event. British Columbia
becomes Beautiful, as 1964 is the first year
that the word beautiful appears on a license plate!
This is also the period in which a new, official colour
rotation scheme took effect, and the last years for
the 000-000 format as vehicle registration neared the
one-million mark. I have done some soft brush cleaning to remove larger dirt and grime but more detailed cleaning may be required.
