1976 Mississippi passenger car license plates were still coded
for weight.
The alpha portion can be on the left or right side of the plate.
The weight classes are as follows:
A=1,800 lbs. or less
B=1,801 to 3,001 lbs.
C=3,001 to 4,000 lbs.
D=greater than 4,000 lbs.
Thanks to John Andree, ALPCA
3589 of Grand Rapids, Michigan for helping with the information on these
plates.
Charles Fregeau of Palatine, Illinois reports that this is
a substitute D weight plate.
