Reproduction WLA USA # License Plates

Post by Steve Greenberg » Fri Nov 03, 2017 2:15 pm

Hello,
I have had a few people ask me about making up some more WLA plates. I plan top do a very small run of 10 or 20 plates. They will be about $100 each because of the small run. I am waiting for the quote to get an exact price. But...if you want a particular USA number now is the time to order it.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Are the non W prefix plates mid 1942 will they be high lighted in the drab blue?

The early W prefix plates pre mid 1942 are high lighted in the flat white.

Darth-kitten,

I see your doing a 1945 WLA project Harley did you know your plate number your asking for is for a type II 42WLA or for a early 1942 production of the 42WLA.
6,130,000 is a correct registration number for 1945

I thought I researched this correctly, but I guess I am mistaken.
You are correct, my motor is 42WLA70549, and I extrapolated the registration number would be 614626 using the liberator site. I assumed the registration number would also go on the plate. I guess that is not the case.
I guess I'll dig up Palmer's book to see what it says...

You must have misread my website as I list the 614xxx range in the type II 42WLA... Furthermore 614626 is not amongst the range I use and my numbers are based on Palmers book

Thanks Gents,
I was referencing the chart that you have located here;
http://www.theliberator.be/liberator1.htm

42WLA Date of Manufacture Engine Numbers (VIN) USA Registration Numbers

Type VII September 1944-August 16th 1945 42WLA62481-42WLA70681 U.S.A.-6128521-U.S.A.-6133520 U.S.A.-6138558-U.S.A.-6141758

It appears I left out a digit when I originally calculated. So, corrected I should need 6141626. Does that make sense, or am I still missing something?
