The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Most-asked question about your Model A?

For many years I have had a license type plate on the rear of my Victoria that says "Repeal the 18th Amendment" I am constantly asked by people what is the 18th amendment.

The 18th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was the prohibition of the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. There was actually no law against drinking it. It became law in 1920 and was repealed by the 21st amendment in 1933.

If a woman asks me the question, after I explain what the 18th amendment was all about, I comment that it is the 19th amendment being repealed that she should be concerned with.
