1955 Michigan Farm License Plate

A new old stock unused 1955 Michigan farm license plate which will grade near mint and comes in its original wrapper, which told the car owners of Michigan to Drive Safely and Keep your license. The color of this antique tractor or pickup tag is dark green with white letters at the top is the date 1955 and Mich Farm, while at the bottom is the slogan Water Wonderland. Michigan only manufactured single tags during this year. These would be excellent to use on your vintage tractor or pickup, but check with the DMV before purchasing to put on any vehicle that will be driven on the road. I have more than one of these antique 1955 Michigan Farm license plates so the one in the picture might not be the one you will recieve, but all are the same unused NOS near mint quality.
