Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: 200 license plates: Jim Becksted; 19; has 200 license plates covering the walls of the garage at his family's Willowdale home. He's holding a 1930 Ontario plate and a plate with his late father's birthdate on it. The Seneca student is finding it's harder to collect plates these days with the new sticker system.
