That's a hell of a garage, what's under the cover? Nice car, really nice.

I like my 69 but, which I accidentally wound up being the high bidder by accident, but like the 71's a lot. The seller removed the Reserve and I hadn't noticed. It has needed way more work than I anticipated but I guess I'm in for the long haul. it wasn't that I paid to much, it's what i keep putting into it that hurts.

Hey, they all need tinkering and parts thrown at them sooner or later. That's half the fun I guess.

Right! I get it now! Probably be a little more clear if the "S" was a "Z" like 442KO said. But whatever works for you.

Funny though, I don't really remember that being a Sopranos catchphrase. But it was a long time ago.

Being I am Sicilian, you don't pronounce it as a z, you pronounce it as ease. Tony always told Christopher and Paulie to take it ease.

Probably 25 years or so ago I remember seeing a red pickup with an Illinois plate on it that said 21 PLYR with the same Nevada plate in the rear window.

In the late 60's I saw a plate in NY that was "IDONTNO" Pretty clever, when asked whats your plate?

I bought this from an eBay site that deals with PA plates, the sticker is also from a different eBay vendor. I am going to restore and put on the front of my car.

Driving home from a golf game this past Saturday, a female passed me and pulled in front of me. I had to capture her license plate. Now, that's some crazy darn right funny $HIT right there,

Looks good, took a few seconds to get it, but that's the type plates I like.

In PA you can use that as the actual plate on your car. Here is the plate on my Toro. By 68 the only plates that still had a stamped date were dealer plates. It is a little expensive to have it registered. You can go the the PA DMV site and see if the numbers are taken. They register it as a antique vanity plate, so as long as the numbers are not taken by someone else, you are good.

Lovely color, by the way. I ran the plate number thru PA’s personalized plate checker and it says that it is in use right now.

Yeah, I like the color on your 68 as well. They look pretty close.

Got the one I wanted!!!

Normally I wouldn't even consider a personal plate, but the combination of the Gadsden Flag design and getting the plate ID I wanted, was just too hard to resist! Says it all!

The LAST thing I want is a plate that's noticeable and memorable, and clean. Give me one that's impossible to read clearly, and if you can read it, you're likely to forget what it was.

Regarding interesting license plate ideas. YOM plates are an option in many states.

Norm - Nice plate, I love it! We can do that in Missouri too and thought about searching for a 1967. I ended up getting the Missouri personal plate Gadsden Flag design shown a few posts up.

It's not on an Olds, but on a Hellcat Challenger.
