pl8ster.net :: North Carolina license plates

This is a plate that was issued to vehicles owned by the NC Dept. of Conservation and Development, I believe. Not sure what that agency's function was, though I think these plates were discontinued at some point in the past.

This is my favorite plate of all. I got this for my '89 Integra when I lived in Charlotte...it spelled out my intention to return to Maine. The stickers proved prophetic, as I moved back to Maine in January of 1994.

These plates are optional to residents in a 12 county area which is known as the Transpark Development Zone. That is all I know; I believe the area includes the Research Triangle Park area in central North Carolina, but I'm not certain.

Okay, these are both Transporter plates from 1999. One is obviously a dealer plate, but what's the other one? Is it a wrecker plate?

This is a fairly common plate, found on vehicles ranging from school buses to local police cruisers.

This is a pretty uncommon plate, at least to me. It's a bus plate of some sort.

As far as I know, this letter/number combination is just a regular NC call sign...but you can read whatever you want into it. I think it's one of the better 'unintended vanities' I've ever seen.
This plate was issued in 1999 with the older-style wide dies, making North Carolina one of only a small number of states to use more than one die style for different types of plates.

At first glance, this appears to be an unusual plate, but NC changed its "Commercial" legend to "Weighted" in 2004. There is talk of changing these plates from yearly dated plates to staggered registrations with stickers, just like passenger vehicles. Thanks to bigdaddyolds for that info. And check out the areas where the paint was taken off this plate by some kind of chemical liquid that ran down it.
