This is the Arkansas issue that was introduced in 1978. Looks quite a bit like the current plate, pictured below. Note that the slogan has changed from "Land of Opportunity" to "The Natural State." Draw your own conclusions there.

This is the current Arkansas issue, which has changed very little since its introduction in 1978. For seven years, the plates looked much like the 'Public Property' issue below, but then changed back to this red-on-white baseplate.
One obvious change is the dies used; the plate above used Arkansas-made Polyvend dies, but this one is produced in Nova Scotia and uses the dies of the manufacturer, Waldale.

Arkansas is one of a handful of states that issue a separate base for disabled motorists, as opposed to using an embossed wheelchair logo on the normal passenger plates.

I've always liked red plates, though this one also has a fairly forboding legend at the bottom.

This would appear to be the exact opposite of the above plate. They must lock the doors of vehicles with these plates on them, or else just about anyone could hop in and drive them away.

Certainly an interesting combination here, though Maine issues a 'Coach' plate that is issued to private (non-municipal) ambulances, and hearses.

This is a private bus plate, though it was really the bad grammar that caught my eye. Note that some Arkansas non-passenger plates (like this one) are fully screened, while others use a sticker at the bottom to denote the plate type.
