Weirdest Licence Plates

Last week, I mentioned that there are plenty of specialty license plates out there. Here are some of the oddest.


Vermont – Highway Engineering Exchange Program Conference

Zzzz …


Florida – Bonefish & Tarpon Trust

The organization I can understand. That super-scary eye not so much.


Illinois – Ulysses S. Grant

Ten of them? Really?


Texas – Michigan State University

There are plenty of these out there, usually for in-state schools or those in neighboring states. There’s at least 1,000 miles between these two however.


Idaho – Pearl Harbor Survivor

A surprising number of states have these, but seeing as there are only 11 survivors left …


California – Press Photographer / New York - Chiropractor

“I’ll take Obscure Professions for $100, Alex.”



Wisconsin – Hobbyist

Of what, they don’t say


New York – American Bowling Conference / Virginia - Bowler



Pennsylvania – Square & Round Dancers / South Carolina – State Dance (The Shag)

I have to admit, I have no idea what “round dancing” is, though it does seem like Pennsylvania’s got all their bases covered. Also, be careful who you ask, “Do you want to shag?”



Texas – Disaster


Louisiana – Save the Tchefuncte Lighthouse / Virginia – Supporter of Greyhound Adoption

“I’ll take Super Obscure Causes for $200, Alex.”


Montana – Weed Control Association

Guess weeds are a real problem in Montana if they’ve got their own association … and license plate


Connecticut – Governor’s Footguard First Company

You got me


Nebraska – My Czech Home / Ohio – Eastern Europeans of Ohio


Iowa – Wartburg College / North Dakota – University of Mary / Ohio – Sant Albert the Great


As mentioned before, there are tons of alumni plates out there. These, though, might be the most obscure. 


North Carolina – Watermelon

Mmm …


Mississippi – Professional Hair Designer

You mean “barber”?


Illinois – Superman

Bet you didn’t know Superman was created by two teenagers in Cleveland, did ya, huh?


Texas – Bait / Bay / Gulf Shrimp

“You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There's uh, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.”


South Carolina – Tree My Dog

Huh?


Nevada – Hot August Nights

Hey, Neil Diamond’s from Brooklyn


Arizona – Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is, though, from Phoenix
