Historical Utah license plates
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The state of Utah began requiring its citizens to register their vehicles and display their license plates on their cars in 1915. According to history, pre-state license plates were made by hand and used on vehicles as early as 1909. The 1915 was an embossed license plate (not porcelain). Since then, the state has gone through a variety of license plate designs, and now has several different designs for passenger, commercial, and specialty plates. A very notable period was in the 1940's when they had slogans/themes embossed on the plates.
