I think it's a truly personal connection that is meaningful to me to come up with my plates. For my '72, I toyed with a number of ideas and even used the Oregon personalized plate visualization tool on the DMV website. Then I sent 3 or 4 mock-up pics to friends and family and asked what the plate said and what they thought the significance was.
Here they are and they all have something to do with 1972:

Back in about 1975, I was doing a custom paint on a C2 convertible and the owner had just bought custom Minnesota plates that read 3M TA3. When viewed in a mirror, well, you can try it yourself.
A few weeks later, he got a notice from the MN DMV requesting he turn them in.

A friend of mine had a '60 Chevy with license TRIPWR; he also had a '69 Nova 4-banger he called NOPWR. 
Think about the "character" of you car. Come up with one or two word phrases that capture that character. Remove the vowels and see what remains.

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude.
Any of the AI models should give you some good ideas.
The key with these is give them lots of context. Tell them about what you like, about the car, and any other details you think are important to the reasoning.
