Here’s a challenge

This is a very distorted picture of a Washington plate on a 55 bus.
The bus was originally received by Riviera Motors, but appears to have lived most of its life in Seattle.

Please can someone identify the Dealership name on the plate surround?

Definitely Peninsula from Bremerton, WA. I've seen that frame before.

Thank you guys

Yes, the last three letters look like ULA
And then I saw Peninsula listed in the Dealer Listings under Washington on TS

My bus was wearing this plate and plate frame in 1970
Does it mean it may have been sold as a used car by Peninsula?
I have no history for the bus 1955-1970.

And this license number may have been on the bus since 63?
As the plate is the 63/64 ‘WASH 63’ version

And as the plate frame is the later smaller style, the bus was unlikely to have been sold new by Peninsula?

I guess Hub city in Compton was an early dealership. Here's one for the archives Everett! From a chevy guy's huge frame collection and no, he wouldn't sell.

No, I didn't end up bidding on it because I spent my money earlier that day on original fender skirts and oval dash grab handle but I kind of regret it now because it's sold pretty cheap I should've bid on it because I would've bid up to $300 for it.

Adding them now to the dealer listings - Thanks!

Weird why some of the dealers used "V.W."

I've seen a couple others but now I can't remember which dealers.

It's uncommon though and I don't like it. Smile
