Undated Kansas #S/G Z 5559 Passenger License Plate

Year: Undated - likely 1973

Type:  Passenger

Material: Steel

Notes:  "Z" plates were used as a universal expiration plate.  When a county ran out of a specific month expiration, it would use a Z plate which had a space along the bottom where a sticker was placed which read EXP (Month) (Year) This allowed counties to issue a plate while waiting on more from the manufacturer.  Z Plates were not temporary, they were used for the rest of the registration period until the next years plate was required.  This system of universal plates was used from 1971 through 1980. -- From the KansasLiceneseplates.com website
