Connecticut, back in the '50s, used to hand out plates
that started with the first letter of your town. For
example, if you lived in Norwich, your plates were
like "NI 104" or "NZ 433." And, up until last year,
you could still use a plate that was designed in 1957
(it only had the word "Connecticut" on the bottom).
But, they just made everyone change to these new
reflectorized plates last year.
The good news is, you can use these '57 base plates if
you have an old car, with a sticker that matches the
year. On my "other" old car, a 1962 Buick, I have
Conn. plates with a 1962 metal tab insert.
