Vintage Connecticut 1970 MERRITT PARKWAY TOLL License Plate Greenwich #G 2014
Vintage Connecticut 1970 MERRITT PARKWAY TOLL License Plate Greenwich #G 2014
These plates were sold to motorists as a method of toll payment - an early predecessor to E-Z Pass. They were displayed on the front of the vehicle, along with the regular license plate.
There were two types - one for the Connecticut Turnpike, the other for the Merritt/Wilbur Cross Parkways. The one for sale here is a Merritt/Wilbur Cross Parkways plate.
The Parkway Toll plates had three letters as designators - G for Greenwich, M for Milford, and W for Wallingford. These letters appeared in any combination on the plates, depending on the toll areas covered. Colors changed each year, and for each of the letter combinations as well.
This one was for use in Greenwich.
