What is your favorite license plate (1 Viewer)

I like that New Jersey has had the same plate since the car was invented.

"Should we change our plate like every other state?"

"No! Faded yellow can never be improved upon."

We had an ugly shade of blue with a pale yellow lettering for a while but went back to the yellow with black letters.

They actually used to have a faded blue with yellow letters. You still see them from time to time.

When I moved to NJ, being a car guy, having to get NJ plates was one of the saddest moments of my life as they don't match anything that looks nice. You can't even get special interest plates and get a different color. For example, in PA, you can get like the DARE plates that look pretty bad ### on black cars, etc. NJ? Nope. They're ALL YELLOW.

 
I know in Texas, they had a license plate with a star on it and you could get it in a bunch of different colors to match up with your car. I wish PA did the same. :(

Texas might have the most plates available of any other state.

 
Easily Wyoming. Love the horse, I get excited whenever I see one, which isn't very often.

Trivia: the digits left of the horse represent the county, in order of county population when the system was installed. Laramie County, my home county, is "2", even though they are now the most populous.

In Houston, the buses they use for the Park And Rides have Wyoming plates. Not sure I understand why or how that works.

 
Michigan has some better options with more graphics than the plain plate that they are showing. 1 2

ETA; always liked the Colorado plate.

That's messed up.
 
My grandpa saved all of his old Wyoming license plates. My dad has them now. He had the same plate number between 1940 and 2008. I think back in the day there was no charge for personal tags, so he just used his phone number (which was 4 digits in 1940).

Holy crap. :shock: If Nebraska offered the reverse of this, they would burn the state capital to the ground.

Nebraska is the same. It was always nice seeing a vehicle on a road trip and knowing what general area they were from. Lancaster (Lincoln), Douglas and Sarpy (Omaha area) counties did have to go to 3 letters not long ago.

Sarpy county was #59 when the number system was established, and is now the #3 most populated county.

I think VA has some out-of-state schools too. It's really driven by the amount the state's alumni are usually willing to pay to have them made. I think most of these University plates are negotiated by the schools or alumni. The DMV will make them if there's enough interest and enough profit in their cut.

I would like to have heard the conversation with NJ's DMV though.

School: "Can we get a NJ plate with our school's logo on it? Our schools colors are Blue and White."

NJ DMV: "Sure. As long as you can make it on a yellow plate with black text."

School: "But...our colors are blue and white. Can we change the co..."

NJ DMV: "You can make it whatever color you want as long as it's BLACK text on YELLOW background"
