...and did feel we needed to put U.S.A. on it for those folks who don't know New Mexico is part of the U.S. It was great having the county numbers before the Zia on the plate. Traveling across the country as a kid in the sixties, every time we saw another New Mexico plate, we could tell what part of the state they came from. We lived in Santa Fe, which was about 1/4 the size it is now. If we saw another NM plate with a 1 before the Zia somewhere in the Midwest, it was like finding a cousin away from home.
BTW, anyone who is interested in NM plates of the past, I have a web page with old plates at
