Below the serial, and written in white paint, is "SUNSHINE STATE." In the serial number, rather than a dash, there is a Zia symbol (between the #s 9 and 5). On the far left-hand side of the plate is the word "NEW," stacked on top of the word "MEX," which is stacked over the number "32," indicating the year of the plate - 1932. There are four bolt holes, one in each corner, and two additional horizontal bolt slits on the top of the plate.On View
