Before April 1st 1971 Norwegian license plates had a one-letter code denoting the county where the vehicle was registered. If a car was sold to another county or the owner moved the registration had to be changed accordingly.

Colours:

Black on silver Private cars, buses, coaches, lorries, trucks, trailers, mopeds, motorcycles
White on green Agricultural tractors and agricultural trailers
White on red Dealer/ trade plates.
Yellow on black Tax free vehicles
Black on amber Military (no prefix letter).

Numerals: Up to 6.

All vehicles, except military, were registered in one series. In 1958, Oslo reached A-99999 and started issuing three pairs of numerals (12-34-56).
The other counties that reached 99999 continued with 500000.
Military plates were like today: up to 5 numerals without letters.
