Talk:History of United States and Canadian license plates

New York?
The 1901 article says New York began requiring license plates in 1901. This article, however, says the US's first license plates appeared in Massachusetts in 1903. Which is right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.137.124.191 (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The License plate page also mentions the same date for New York. Not sure which is right. --124.184.164.20 (talk) 09:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe that New York first required plates in 1901, while Massachusetts first issued plates in 1903. That is, in many places around the world, plates were required before they were first issued, and during that interim time period vehicle owners constructed their own plates. Now I just have to find a source backing that up! Qqqqqq (talk) 16:54, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
