@Sam-Blockhan Comet is a 64. When WA switched to green on white plates for 63, the state stamped an excessive amount of "63" plates, which weren't exhausted until 1965. People were also unhappy with the "Wash" abbrevation, so the 1965+ plate had the state name spelled out.

Those J30s always amused me for their strong Altima styling, and kind of a droopy rear end.

@Sam-Blockhan J30 plz

Except that underneath, the J30 was a completely different vehicle.

It was on the Nissan Y32 platform and thus, had more in common with the 2nd gen Q45 than the Altima.
