Actually seen on the UConn campus in the early 1970s--a car with Massachusetts plates, LXIX.

Vanity Plate on Red Corvette in Stamford in early 70s. Could not believe the state printed it. URASS

Driver/owner a cute gal. Arrested for prostitution. Did not know it at the time, but came to learn she was the sister of a friend. Terrible for a religious family.

I get a lot of honks and waves for mine.

My 1955 Packard Patrician (next to the last year they made Packards). The NV personal plate WHOWNS1 derives from Packard's advertising slogan: "Ask the man who owns one." A good friend in Tucson, AZ has OWNSONE on his 1955 Packard 400.

I got the best CT plate.

Before I switched to a historical plate on my '79 Vette the personalized plate was FLY 66 because old route 66 and Vettes just naturally belong together. I think, though, that my supercharged black Monte has the definitive plate, CRUUSN, because we love "blue" highways.

Not mine but I was a fan.

Then, there was the big brown Bentley, probably a model from the 1950's, that I used to see around Noank, CT once in a while.

All the plate said was QE 3

I remember that one. He never pulled up in front of my shop....

I once saw a Bentley at RLCC with a lic plate that read 1 of 2 and I assume the other said 2 of 2 !!!

Not a license plate, but a similar idea ... After the Niners walloped the Broncos by 55-10 in SuperBowl XXIV, many folks in Colorado took to defacing speed limit signs: Speed Limit 55, Broncos 10.

I enjoy some of these plates. But some I have to struggle to figure out and in real life would probably not get it before the car was gone! (I still don't get rwsleep's)
Too bad some folks pay for very clever personalized plates and then the general public (slow folks like me) don't get it! But maybe they wanted an inside joke...

NCC 1701 was the designation of the star ship Enterprise of Star Trek fame.
On edit. When it doubt, google it.

I was issued a standard plate for a new car and paid it no attention, but when my kids mentioned that people were blessing themselves and making signs t0 ward off the evil eye, I noted that it read 666xxx

When I lived in Alabama, I had one. It was a Saturn V plate that read GOHUSKZ. Now that I'm in Iowa, I don't have one. 1, Car registration is more expensive here and 2, No matter what I get, I'm stuck with a freaking ugly silo in it and I just can't will myself to pay more for the same plate but with different lettering. (No joke, I paid $100 more a year for two cars with normal plates than I did in Alabama for two cars with Saturn V plates and those had a $50 annual surcharge on them.)

If I could get a UConn or Michigan plate, I might go for it but I don't see that happening...
