The license plates are all the yellow with black numeral 1947 plates, but with the small aluminum tag updating the year. These were used in '48, '49 and '50 - there was a new 1951 plate issued. <br /><br />And 1948 was an election year. Just after the Architect's Building I saw a billboard for Pontiac ("Pontiac. Just a Sweetheart!") and found this from August 1948<br /><br />http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/oaaaarchives_AAA7586/<br /><br />I also have watched it a couple of times, and haven't seen a 1949 car yet....Steven Keylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162895111618226987noreply@blogger.com
