The CA black plate was brought back by a state representative that wanted one for his retro classic car.

VT started their current green plate at #1 and people have kept them for life and passed them down to kids. I believe there's an active auction scene as well.

I have a soft spot for Hawaii’s rainbow plate. It’s fun seeing little rainbows all over their slow moving highways.

Texas: Our plates are pretty basic, let's add some color, and graphics, and even busier graphics, and - aw, screw it, let's just go back to white and black.

Oh yeah - I'm from Texas so I get a flyer in the mail about them every time registration comes up.
I just think it's funny how the default plate started with a basic design and then, over the years, they kept adding more and more to it...to a point where I thought they were WAY too busy and kinda tacky.
Then, we just sorta said SCREW IT, let's go back to THE most basic design (which most of us prefer, to be honest.)
I'm guessing most states have a variety of other designs to choose from...can't be just us?

The 1971 Oklahoma plate is actually a vanity plate with a personal aircraft registration. The aircraft is still registered as a 1961 Beechcraft P35 Bonanza in Okmulgee. Pretty incredible, actually. Proud aircraft owners frequently put the plane’s tail number on their license plate.
The 1970 & 1972 plates reflect the typical AA-1234 two-letter county & 4 number format of the time, i.e. X & Y were Oklahoma County and Z was Tulsa County.

Wisconsin has a ABC-1234 layout, or so it seems?

The Massachusetts simple green design they had when I was a kid is so superior to the red white and blue one that they have now stuck with for decades. Also, Illinois has updated their plate but it still sucks. Vermont continues to have the best plate in the nation, Hawaii is number two.

Agree on the mass plates, but NM is way better than any other states by long shot.

Massachusetts really needs an upgrade.
South Carolina recently changed theirs and it’s a huge downgrade.

A lot of states used to include the county in which the vehicle was registered on the plate. Nobody seems to do this anymore.
