If you saw this plate would it make sense to you! I ordered an Arctic White over red C8.

The first year of Corvettes was 1953 and it was white over red! So far Lassie is the only one to get it…. I’ll keep trying!

I feel like vanity plates that refer to the colors/trim of the car are dumb. Maybe an RPO or something, but not trying to shoehorn in abbreviations.

White Red Interior 1953.....the first Vette only offered that combo and guessing it is for a white w red interior 2023. I too considered that combo being a 70th anniversary year car.
