picked up my new plates yesterday. sorry for the size, haven't yet figured out to insert a smaller view.
this wasn't my first choice, but is close enough for me.

Close enough for me, too. Good job.

Ca still puts the sticker on the plate i see.Here in TX they used to do the same ,but people would still them.

cgladish

they've been doing stickers for as long as I can remember.
all you need to do is, just go at them with a razor a few times.
thankfully so far, having no front plate hasn't been an issue
( cited once in 37yrs ).

I don't get it. What's the "E" stand for?

cgladish

doesn't stand for anything. what I wanted ( "USA 1" ) was long gone.
combining the "E" with the "S" was, the closest I could get.


using a little poetic license here.

now all I see is odelay essay. lol if you're around Hispanic people, you'll get it.

old school reference to chevorlet. they used to sell new cars ( 1950's-1960-s ) with a promotional "USA 1" front license plate.
as this personal plate is always taken, I tried to get as close as I could.

I don't think that most folks will get it.

cgladish

this is an reference to a chevy promotion. they used to sell new cars
( 1960's I believe ), with this as a front plate.
I wanted to get this one, but it is always taken.
this was the closest I could get.
maybe it's too old a reference, but any old school chevy guys wanna chime in?

Works for me, got it from the first try.

cgladish

I did not think it was too difficult. maybe it's a matter of context.
doesn't matter now, it's on the car!

I have a 1956 Nomad with tag "GO MAD". I bought my 2012 GS 3 weeks ago today. I ordered "GONE MAD" for the Vette.

Humm, plate needs a frame. For starters. Then those drywall screws got to go. Then we can talk about the plate.

I got it right away. Surprised so many don't know about the Chevy USA-1 program. Sure sign some of us are getting old.

Why?

Cops have the capability to see if a plate is valid or not. It's pretty much automated in my neck of the woods. Cops have it running all the time as they are out and about. It reads plates and flags wanted or out of date ones.

In MD, we still have stickers (which crumble into a thousand pieces when removing), which seems antiquated given that they only run plates. We could do away with stickers entirely, but I guess this still allows someone to earn a living with some job.

Oh, and it makes me take the rear plate off to replace the sticker, and wash and wax under the plate.

I got the plate right away but you're not allowed to say that nowadays. It's not cool to put our own country first, period, ask ANTIFA. Personally I wish Chevy would still use these plates but I guess they would kill their sales if they did.

What do you mean by 'Why'?...This is the 21 century...When a cop is behind me he only has to type my plate number in his computer and it will come back valid and also if i have insurance or not.Every year when we renew we receive a sticker that goes on the inside of the windshield on the drivers side ....And you can't steal it and put it on another car.Also if a cop is coming from the opposite direction he can see the my sticker.

that'll work too!


I don't mind that not everyone "gets it". it make's it a bit more exclusive. one of the perks of having been around a while I guess.
