Saludos desde La Paz, capital de Baja California Sur. Hemos creado este sitio web para recopilar y compartir fotografías e historias sobre las placas vehiculares de México.
Les invitamos a compartir sus fotos antiguas, recuerdos e historias sobre automóviles, placas, carreteras y viajes por México durante el siglo XX y épocas posteriores. Nuestro objetivo es crear un espacio que combine la narrativa histórica con el álbum de recuerdos.
Buscamos investigar, intercambiar opiniones y plantear preguntas para documentar y archivar el significado detrás de los registros vehiculares de México —ya sean municipales, territoriales, estatales, nacionales o federales—, abarcando desde 1920 (e incluso antes) hasta 2026 y más allá. Agradecemos sus comentarios, ya que nos ayudan a corregir, aclarar y enriquecer estas historias. Gracias por acompañarnos en este recorrido…
Greetings from La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur. We have created this website to collect and share photographs and stories aboute Mexican license plates. We invite you to share your vintage photos, memories, and stories about Mexican cars, license plates, roadways, and road trips from the 20th century.
The goal is to be both a storybook and a scrapbook. We try to research, share opinions, and ask questions to document and archive the meaning behind Mexico’s automobile registrations, from city, territorial, state, national and federal issues back to 1920 and before through to 2026 and beyond.
We welcome your feedback so we can correct, clarify, and add to these stories. Thanks for coming along the road with us…
