At this time, municipal, county, and state government became unique types.

1926-1959 COMMERCIAL
Until 1958, municipal commercial plates used a different series than municipal passenger car plates, incorporating the X code for commercial.
This practice was discontinued with the tan base in 1959.

Thanks to John Walters for the information on the proper sequence of these.

These are remakes - made in the mid 70s - of the early 60's issues.

The only known pattern on the 1977 base is MG-000A. These would be remakes (or re-plates ?) of the early 60's issue.
