But then again, I'm curious if anybody ever suggested that the beagle be removed?Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-41218186150997884802007-10-13T20:56:00.000-07:002007-10-13T20:56:00.000-07:00Dave, I think the licence plate was because of Cal...Dave, I think the licence plate was because of Calif State Law regarding taxes. My father was with the State Board of Equalization (taxes) and said that Disneyland was taxed like a town of it's own. Utilities, streets and roads, motor vehicles, food sales, etc. The plate was a device to place the tax stamp (we know it as the licence registration renewel), and that ALL motor vehicles in the state must be registered and have a plate (even if only used on private land) which included farms and such. The vehicle also was taxed as a comercial carrier. Later, Disney got a variance to delete the plate, but still had to pay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-80481720032142747532007-10-13T19:29:00.000-07:002007-10-13T19:29:00.000-07:00In 1967 Snoopy was a HUGE part of Hallmark's busin...In 1967 Snoopy was a HUGE part of Hallmark's business. It was a cultural phenomenon at the time. There would have been no way around it. It would have been like asking George Lucas not to offer any Star Wars items.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-84432555803151077292007-10-13T09:12:00.000-07:002007-10-13T09:12:00.000-07:00Sorry on the spelling, Jason - it has now been fix...Sorry on the spelling, Jason - it has now been fixed! I also wondered about the license plate when I was scanning it in. I have another rear Omnibus shot from 1958, but no license plate. However, there are at least 2 Omnibuses at Disneyland. Anyone know about the story on this?Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-2647991465245483042007-10-13T08:29:00.000-07:002007-10-13T08:29:00.000-07:00What's the deal with the Omnibus license plate??
