My all time favorite is still "4X4X8"
It was on a Honda Accord...
(the measurements of "a 'cord'" of firewood).
In the far distant past, the plate on a Datsun read "Dashes"... CW op
obviously

Years ago I was working with a catering dept at a hotel to set up a

I noticed her Ohio license plate: K8WYT. I asked, "Oh, are you an amateur
radio operator?" She said, "No. That's me. Kate White."

Montana has a $25 vanity plate fee, regardless of what the plate "says",
-but- ham radio plates are exempt.
BUT … I had a very difficult time convincing the local county folks that
my "K0PP" plates were -not- the usual vanity plate they were used to
issuing. It took a 200 mile trip to the state motor vehicle office with a
copy of the Callbook and the FCC Part 97 in hand to get the matter resolved.
At the time the prison tag shop foreman was a ham. They had no slant zero
die and he made my first plate by hand with a strip of tape across a zero.
He told me I was the first "zero" plate they had made … the die they
subsequently purchased cost $97.
Montana renews a plate with an adhesive expiration date sticker and does
not issue a new plate each year.
