Collector Gus Oliver profiled the license plates of the Long Island Motor Parkway in the October issue of PLATES Magazine, the official publication of the Automobile License Plate Collector Association (ALPCA).
Much of the information and photos in the article were found on this website.
Enjoy,

The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

I just saw the blog on my article. I also included a history of the LIMP and another article on Charles Henry Davis (feature story) along with color photos of virtually all of the known surviving #25 plates and a census. Do you have a copy? If not, would you like one?
