Story County had the prefix number of "86" in the system of numbering used that year instead of the "85" that became well known to all those who paid any attention in the fifties and Sixties. This was accomplished by assigning the numbers 1-5 to the counties with more than 10,000 cars. Then the remaining 94 counties were placed alphabetically, and Story was number "86". The plates were 5 1/2 by 15 inches and had black 4 inch numbers on an aluminum background. Story County received 5,700 plates. This, apparently, was the first year a county numbering system was used on the car license. Truck numbers went from 37,401 thru 37,900
