Passenger Plates
1959 - 1969
Starting in June 1959, New Jersey started a replate with this new black on "buff" base.
All plates issued from this point forward are still valid on the roads today.
Special thanks to Ed Butler for the year-by-year prefix data from 1959-2004.
1959June - December
AAA-100 - BBZ-999
A number of B-series plates were made in Arkansas. Notice the different "B" die on the plates below - the Arkansas "B" does not have serifs.
BBB-991 has *both* types of B dies. The origin of this plate is unknown.

Somewhere between BJA and BJL, production returned to New Jersey. The different 'B' die without serifs was not seen after this.
The "D" series was reserved
for DEALER plates.
Somewhere between EIX and EUI, the die for the letter I changed, and the serifs got much shorter.
