this vintage plate is plain and simple. it's bright green with cream lettering/numbers/trim.
this vintage license plate can make a fun gift for anyone born in 1970 or married in 1970. it also makes fun wall decor for a man cave, family room, playroom, homeschooling area, children's room, teen's room, or other space.
this license plate was issued in the upscale county just over the line from kansas city, missouri--johnson county, kansas.
this plate reads: kansas 70/jo (vertically)-30742/midway usa. the higher number plate shows the high population in this metro kc county.
the plate is in the style of kansas plates made from 1956 through 1976, creating the silhouette of the kansas shape by making the upper righthand corner show its slight variance from a rectangle. before 1956, the state cut plates in the shape. adjusting to just the trim paint helped the state keep costs lower.
the "midway usa" motto was on kansas license plates from 1965 through 1970, with this plate out its last year of issuance.
the plate is heavier than today's license plates. it has a bit of wear and tear and a slight bend, but will easily hang on the wall. the patina on some of the cream paint adds to the charm.
