Power Tour 2012

[348tripower]

I was going to make the run to Muskegon but plans change. We are going to get back into the house this weekend. We have a lot to move and cleaning to do. The wife finally has a weekend off so we  can get this done.
I was hoping the fishing boat would be in the slip there and I would have a place to crash but we still don't have the stern drive on it. I did fix the bad valves and head gaskets and Eric put a new impeller in the drive. Mike and Eric are the contractors fixing my place. Mike and I went to Dexter schools together. They are taking care of me and I am returning the favor by working on the boat and being the clean up and gofor guy. I haven't touched the COE in a month. Studebaker is still in storage and my daily is still broke. I have not gotten time to finish the check for a bad rod bearing. I have the pleasant problem of having to much to do. Brake  job this morning, back to the heat and air install in a 51 chevy truck. Move and clean when the wife gets home. Got a list of work on the white board in the shop.

Denise - I have the 1960 corner tag, and I'm still digging for the 1959 passenger car plate to put it on.   If I find it I'll bring it.

I got a matching pair 1960 full Michigan plate, not half year, at a swap meet the weekend I got the car.  I'm all set bud.  Thanks though, much appreciated.

Hmmm, corner tags were whole year not half year

Correct:  1960 passenger cars used the yellow on green 59 plate with the green on yellow corner tag.  Pick-up/commercial plates were 1960 dated, green on yellow.   Cars - 2 letters, 4 numbers.  Pickups - 4 numbers, 2 letters.

Now, if anybody in MI has a 60 pickup...those I have.

Used to be in Ohio if you had a station wagon and kept the back seats folded down to haul stuff (mattress?) they expected you to license it as a truck. GPster

Yep, but they also made plates with a date stamped in them that were half year.  I picked up some of those as well.  My comment was geared toward the plate I'm running now is a 1960 plate, not a half year plate that is way more common then just a regualr 1960 plate.

Denice, as stated before cars used a corner tag, truck a whole plate. So in actuality you probably have a truck plate. Corner tags were used as a cost saving measure for years instead of a new plate every year. The same way the stick on tags are used now.

I understand I'm running a truck plate Jack.  My comment was because you made it sound like I made a comment that tags were half year.  My current plate is full year, tags were full year BUT I ALSO bought plates that are half year plates for 1960 that I could also run on my car if I wanted.

So correct or not for the car in essence you'll run what you want
