Larry Klusener was searching for Ford Model A parts when he stumbled on a homeowner wanting to unload some old license plates.“They had a box of car tags from the late ‘20s and ‘30s that no one was bidding on and I bought them for $4,” he said. “That got me started. I thought that might be an interesting hobby to get into.”Klusener of Great Bend started collecting license plates more than 40 years ago and he’s a longtime member of the Kansas License Plate Collectors Association.He’s part of a statewide celebration of 100 years of Kansas license plates.
