The funniest plate I've seen was on a friends 69 Corvette. It was "2CNCHW". Unfortunately, someone complained and they pulled the plate.
For many years, I had "SIXTY" on my 1960 and I was still asked what year my car was.

It's a convertible and it came off the assembly line the same week that "Windy" by The Association was #1 on the charts

Used these a few years ago. And yes people still asked what year it was. In Mo. you only get six letters/numbers. Its amazing how many more possibilities there are when you can use seven.
