The color scheme has been selected because of the shortage of paint pigments make it impossible to secure a wider color range. If paltes in pairs are issued, 1350 tons of steel will be required to make them, however rear and front plates are more desirable than plates from the standpoint of law enforcement. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
