California license tag
In the trunk of a recently purchased Speedster I found a black and yellow dealer tag w/o a sticker.
Description:
Left side vertical IG next vertical DLR w/tag number 4837. Any help with the meaning of IG. My research indicater black and yellow tag we used until 1963.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you,
Gianni

The CalPl8s Website (where I borrowed that image) has loads of info on all incarnations of California plates.
It says: "The small number with a letter is the "Dealer Issuance" number, it is how many plates were issued to this dealer. 9 plates would be 9A, the tenth plate would be issued 1B. Yellow and Black plates used the 12A scheme for dealer issuance numbers, when the numbers were 2 digits, the digits were side by side and stacked over the letter. Issuance numbers on the Blue plates went to 123A, and plates after that were issued with 12A issuance numbers."
I guess that would make a "1G" the 55th plate issued to that dealer? Wow.
By the way, the "D" on the right indicates the example above was an issued "duplicate" plate.
