When I arrived in Florida, I saw dozens and dozens of plate designs, beginning with the most common:

I found this fab link to a gallery on the Orlando Sentinel website. It has images of 114 specialty plates. Cool! They also have a link that includes news on license plates.
On a final note, if you are curious about vintage plates, like I am, check out this site: PlateShack.

Until next time, Eli
I do love those license plates you have in the States, so much more interesting than ours. Thankyou so much for visiting me and for your kind comments. Have a great weekend, love Linda x
ReplyDeleteEli, thank you for visiting Polonica; Home Again. When I lived in Canada, you could get a customized licence plate, but the design was simple blue letters on white background. The slogan on the licence plate was "Ontario - yours to discover".
ReplyDeleteHi Eli, thanks for stopping by my blog...I see you are in the same boat as us, having experienced a complete climatic change....although we've travelled to the other side of the world rather than an amazing leap within your own country. But isn't it fun experiencing something totally different, marvelling at the change of lifestyle that weather and temperature can realise. One of the biggest changes for us (other than the complete lack of a decent summer) is having xmas in the cold...and it ain't bad! I'll be tuning in to see how you get on. Robx
ReplyDeleteI've seen this plate with orange here in California.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there are so much other kinds of number plates!!

I love the retro Colorado one, personally.
ReplyDeleteIn Europe, each country has only one. It would be too flashy to have what Florida has - it would mean you give too much thought about your car. It would also provide too much personal information - too self-indulgent.
I'm curious, which one did you choose :)
Great post!
