About this plate
TRAILER. Connecticut differentiates several non-passenger classes by SERIAL COLOUR (red) on an otherwise identical base, Trailer, Commercial, Apportioned, Construction, Factory, Farm and Fire Apparatus all reportedly share the red-serial treatment. Trailer earns its own entry because it also carries a distinct bottom legend, which is a design difference.
