Out-of-State Plates 52

Today, we have three places: two US states and a Caribbean Isle.

ARU - Aruba.

This plate was found in JW's Burger Bar, 17 The New Driftway, Scituate, Mass.

 

 

MI - Michigan

 

 

More Pure Michigan - this is a US Olympic team vanity plate.

NH - New Hampshire

The old "Man of the Mountain" memorial plate.

It's now the regular NH license plate.

Live free or die!

VT

Today is Vermont: the Green Mountain State. The plates are no-nonsense green plates with white legend.

Someone bought the vehicle in Louisiana, registered it in Vermont.

(S)he keeps it in New Orleans!!!!!

This one is a little more discreet.

This one's not an official plate, but it looks like it could be one.

An older-style vanity plate, that is!

VA

A Virginia Bumper Sticker!

 

 

Looks like the previous governor Bob McDonnell had allowed the roads of Virginia fall into deterioration.  And the present governor Terry McAuliffe? Probably doing the same exact thing. With the amount of extra funding they get from Washington, they have no excuse!

VA

Today, Virginia. The Old Dominion.

A vanity plate, in the old style.

Old style, regular alpha-numerical sequence.

Newer style, vanity plate.

Newer style, another vanity plate. 

"Friends of the Chesapeake" legacy plate.

Out-of-State Plates 49

Today's State: Utah: the Beehive State.

Otherwise known as "Deseret".

These two feature the natural arch at  Moab, Arches National Park.

Very pretty design. Good color contrast for legibility, too. 

 

This is an earlier motif to promote skiing.

Out-of-State Plates 48

Today, is Texas. The Lone Star State.

First the old style. Despite the busywork around the perimeter, the plates are quite legible.

 

 

And now the new styles. The typeface for the plate number I think is horrible. You can't read it at a safe following distance along the expressway!

 

 

First, the plain black and white plates.

The number and letters are all smushed.

 

And now the fancy "Lone Star State" motif.

I think the old version is better.

 

And now specialty plates - Disabled Veterans.

And "Keep Texas Wild" plate.

 

 

 



Out-of-State Plates 47.

TN

Today's state is Tennessee.

 

New standard plates showing green hills.

This is actually realistic of most of the landscape.

 

Tennessee Realtor plate.

I do NOT like the vertical 'TR'.

 

Great Smoky Mountains national Park.

I do NOT like the vertical 'NP'.

All letters and numbers should be the same size.
