&#8220;Industrial Mexico&#8221; by P. Harvey Middleton (1919)<\/p><p>Pages 133-136:<\/p><p>\u201d<strong>American automobiles in Mexico&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><p><em>&#8220;During my recent trip to Mexico from the Texas border to Vera Cruz, one of the things which surprised me the most was the quantity and variety of American automobiles to be seen everywhere. In Mexico City, there is a greater display of machines than one confined in many American city. \u00a0On Sunday morning in Chapultepec Park, there is a parade of automobiles past the band-stand four lines deep, two lines going in each every direction, the cars being so numerous that they can only go at a walking rate.<\/em><\/p>1919 book published in New York City in English includes photos and statistics about early automobile industry in Mexico.<p><em>Every make and type of American, French and British cars is represented in the business districts, in addition to all kinds of pleasure cars and motor trucks, there are hundreds of jitneys \u00a0which carry passengers for short distances for 10 centavos or five cents.<\/em><\/p><p><em>During the year 1918, 365 commercial automobiles valued at $525,664 and 2,578 passenger automobiles, valued $1,653,545, were exported from the United States to Mexico by American manufacturers. In November 1917, there were in operation in Mexico City 2165 automobiles, 1,329 of which were for private use and 836 for higher. Among the latter were 150 jitneys and 33 taxis. There were also 2,457 coaches or carriages in Mexico City, ofwhich 900 were for private use and the remainder were for hire.<\/em><\/p><p><em>There has been an especially heavy demand for popular priced touring cars and trucks\u2014a demand which is traceable to the practical disappearance of Mexico\u2018s most popular beast of burden, the ox. \u00a0During the [1917 Mexican] revolution, large number of oxen were destroyed by the rebels for their hides, and this, together with the destruction of thousands of [rail] freight cars and the general rundown condition of Mexican railroads has created a large and constant growing market for automobiles. \u00a0One American salesman sold 800 cars in Mexico in six months, and during his travels throughout the country was keenly impressed with the demand for motor trucks throughout Mexico, both in the mining districts and for passenger service. A type of car in great demand is the five-passenger touring car painted black, with leather upholstery and nickel trimmings. The type of motor preferred is six cylinder with selective clutch, gear box back of the engine, full floating rear axle and twelve-inch suspension.\u00a0 The straight side tire equipment with 60-inch tread is preferred. \u00a0\u00a0And commercial vehicles the 3-ton type with 3 to 4 speed and rear wheel worm drive is given the preference. Big cooling capacity is essential, owing to the extreme heat in some parts of the country. There is a good demand for trailers and towing hooks.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><p>Source: Written by P.

Until now, the earliest known issue from Distrito Federal is a dated 1923\/24 base plate, and subsequently there are known dated issues for every year after. So this undated DF plate must have been issued in 1922 or earlier. If so, is this the first issue? And how does this undated DF issue relate to the 1922 M de M plate? It seems unlikely, but not improbable, that Mexico City would issue an undated DF plate in 1921 or earlier, then use the M de M for just one year and then revert to DF designation for the 1923\/24 plate.

published in 1919 show this photo of another Mexico City crowded jitney with the license plate affixed vertically just below the windshield.\u00a0 The plate appears to read #2190 DF, and the jitney sign appears to read San Rafael as the destination for this crowded hauler.\u00a0 \u00a0This is the first confirmation we&#8217;ve seen that the undated DF plate was in use as early as 1919 and maybe even earlier.\u00a0 This book also includes a 1917 automobile census.\u00a0 Now the question to investigate further is how much further back was the undated DF plate used, and when was it first issued?\u00a0 And was this the first issue in Distrito Federal, or were there other local ayuntamiento or municipal plates as we have seen in nearly Estado de M\u00e9xico and Puebla

Collectors have long been curious and debated its origin.\u00a0 With these historical photos, we can confirm it is indeed from Mexico, and they were used in Mexico City, as long believed.\u00a0<\/p><p>The surviving M de M examples (at least two are known) are five digits, which seems very high.\u00a0 Both survivors start with \u201c22\u201d, indicated 22,XXX.\u00a0 Or could the the 22 be the year as prefix, but that seems unnecessary with the year already stamped vertically on the right.\u00a0\u00a0 A century ago, there was no likely no other jurisdiction in Mexico with more than 22,000 registrations except Distrito Federal.\u00a0\u00a0 The vertical \u201c19\u201d and \u201c22\u201d at the right could be theorized as a multi-year plate for 1919-1922.\u00a0\u00a0 The other leading theory says the M de M designation is for \u201cMuncipalidad de Mexico\u201d, as in the government of Mexico City.\u00a0<\/p><p>The newly discovered photos seem to solve one mystery and raise another.\u00a0 There are now at least three photographs showing 5 examples of 1922 M de M plates on the roads of Mexico City seemingly solving the long-standing question of its origin:<\/p><ul><li>#361 on a crowded Jitney, with a cigarette smoking pedestrian in front<\/li><li>#2697 on a Ford Model T Jitney, likely a Roma (for Roma Norte neighborhood) public colectivo bus\/taxi parked in front of El Express Cantina.<\/li><li>#3803 on a Mexico City jitney.<\/li><li>#689X, a four digit plate on a La Rosa jitney.<\/li><li>#6XXX, on an obscured but still recognized plate driving alongside the La Rosa #689X.<\/li><\/ul><p>But there\u2019s now another mystery.\u00a0 There is no known dated 1922 DF plate.\u00a0 But there are other period public jitney vehicles that clearly show an undated \u201cDF\u201d stacked suffix designation.\u00a0 So if the 1922 M de M was used by Distrito Federal for 1922, then when were the undated DF plates used\u20141921 or earlier?\u00a0\u00a0 If the undated DF plates are older than the M de M plate, then why did Mexico City, DF use the odd and still unknown \u201cM de M\u201d designation for just that one year?\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>So, there are still several major questions left unanswered:<\/p><ol><li>What does \u201cM de M\u201d mean and how did it come to be used on license plates?<\/li><li>When were the undated DF plates used? Even more compelling, when were the first plates required or issued in Mexico City?\u00a0 For example, the 1922 M de M highest known is #22133 yet the known 1923\/24 DF plates or photographs are no higher than 4 digits.\u00a0<\/li><li>Is there a chance that the DF plates and M de M plate were used concurrently in Mexico City? Or could the M de M plate have been issued by Estado de Mexico (as in \u201cMunicipios de (Edo) Mexico\u201d and still be seen on the streets of Mexico City as shown in these photographs.<\/li><\/ol><p>Until now, the earliest known Distrito Federal plate has been a dated 23\/24 DF plate, with all subsequent years accounted for through dated issued confirmed for 1925 through 1985, and then again in 1999.\u00a0 So with DF plates documented from 1923 on up, the undated DF plate is a mystery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>With all this in mind, our leading theory is that the 1922 M de M is the first dated plate, used in just 1922 (not \u201919-\u201922) followed by the dated DF 23\/24, and then subsequent annual issues from 1925 through 1985 before returning to multi-year (and undated) base plates through today.\u00a0\u00a0 We don\u2019t believe the undated DF and M de M plates were used concurrently, and we know that the undated DF plates were in use at least back to 1919 if not earlier.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p><p>But this does create another mystery.\u00a0 Why would Distrito Federal start issuing plates with DF, then switch to M d M for just one year, and then go back to DF.\u00a0 Indeed DF or Distrito Federal was used from 1923\/24 through 2015 when DF finally ceased and gave way to CDMX.<\/p><p>Do you have any related photos, evidence or theories to share?\u00a0 Please let us know in the Comments below.\u00a0 \u00a0We will update as new or clarifying information is collected.\u00a0<\/p><p>Well, you could chuckle and say at least one known meaning of M de M is the Mystery of Mexico!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55eaece e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"

divided into delegaciones (boroughs), including Miguel Hidalgo that covers what was then Tacuba.\u00a0 \u00a0Perhaps as a political statement to its neighboring behemoth of DF, the small town of Tabuca issued its own license plates, and they are some of the finest known.\u00a0 Presumably manufactured by S.G. Adams of St. Louis, Missouri, USA, the plates have their familiar dies.\u00a0 S.G. Adams was successful in making plates for many far-flung international destinations in the era, including but not limited to St. John, Newfoundland (then a British dependency), Panama, Colon

safety with exploding numbers of automobiles and highways called for new ideas.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the early 1930s, several states in the USA experimented with anti-theft plates, like the 1935 Massachusetts, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, and Iowa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the 1936 Mexico appears to combine both road safety with reflectorized numbers.&nbsp; There are several types of backing for these plates.&nbsp; In this example, there is crimped aluminum.&nbsp; Other Mexican states used glass beads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mexico pioneered the technology for increased visibility, especially at night with the variations of insert backings in the 1936 base plate.&nbsp; &nbsp;Next came the USA, with the 1941 Georgia plate with glass beaded paint on the embossed portions.&nbsp; Canada lagged with this innovation for decades.&nbsp; The 1967 Alberta Centennial base plate was the first fully reflectorized beaded plate.<\/p><p>Does anyone have information about who manufactured 1936 Mexico

No engineer, but as he puts it, an amateur who is in love with fine automotive styling, Galindo was so impressed by the eye-appeal of French and Italian cars during a trip to Europe several years ago that he immediately began to dream of a similar Mexican industry.<\/p><p>Unlike most dreamers, his financial position was such that he could convert his dream into reality. His father, former Economic Minister of President Miguel Aleman\u2019s regime, owns a $15,000,000 furniture factory in the shadow of Mexico\u2019s famous Shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe; he himself is an assistant director, and a brother, Armando, is general manager.<\/p><p>As a result, some of Mexico\u2019s most modern machinery and most-skilled labor was at his command at much lower cost than in Europe and the United States. Nevertheless, so formidable were the natural obstacles that many foreign firms which had studied the possibility of establishing plants for construction of a Mexican car had abandoned the ideas as impractical although a number of companies \u2013 such as Ford, General Motors, Hillman \u2013 maintain assembly plants utilizing imported parts.<\/p><p>Galindo, who attended school in the United States at Carlsbad, California\u2019s Army and Navy Academy and Northwestern University at Evanston, Illinois, realized he could not compete with American mass-production methods. So he decided to concentrate on producing a quality automobile.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fc3610 e-flex

Hence Galindo was forced to another decision; he must combine easily-repaired American motors and chassis with European-style bodies bult by low-cost Mexican labor.<\/p><p>The result is the surprising automobile the family firm \u2013 Distrubuidora Mexicana, or as it is better known, \u201cDM\u201d christened \u201cLa Nacional.\u201d La Nacional\u2019s strongest appeal is that no new models are alike.
