Which License Plate should I get?


Florida uses only rear license plates, I got "antique" when I finally got the 56 running and licensed, since they are way cheaper than any other plate.

No special number, just the next one in sequence from stock.

I have been led to believe that I can buy an original 1956 Florida license plate (available on evilBay) and get the car registered with that. However it would just be some random number.

Or, I could have one made up, and put it over my regular plate for cruises or whatever (once on fairgrounds property). So here are my choices (thanks to Todd for suggestions):

license_plate_1956.jpg

license_plate_1956-1.jpg

I wouldn't be able to run the made-up plates on the street, it would just be to have something fun at events.

What do you think?

Dave

I don't think most Floridians would get Take Off from TKOFF unless they were huge Bob and Doug fans already.  They might think it means Ticked Off or  T. KOFF (obviously a famous Canadian).  Maybe CDN EH would work better.  What is the maximum number of characters you can have?

Well I might stretch it a bit, 7 is the limit on 'real' FL plates, you can have a space in addition to the 7 characters ... but since this would be made to order and not legal anyway, I couold see if the guy could do TAKE OFF EH ...

No way, I like to keep on solid ground, eh? But maybe I'll add some rocket boosters to the rear axle when I want to 'take off'? smile

OK, you are right, southern boys might need a little nudge in the right direction, eh? Maybe could I put a poster from the movie Strange Brew in the window???

Or get those little action figures of Bob & Doug and put them on the rear package tray?

Or maybe just pictures of: beer.gif donut.gifbeer.gif
