pl8ster.net :: New Mexico license plates

Certainly one of the nicest-looking 'government' plates out there. I can think of a bunch of states off the top of my head that should have regular-issue plates that look this good.

This is the same basic plate that is in use today, first issued in 1982 but changed to the current graphic format in 1991.

Apparently, the New Mexico DMV forgot to order enough graphic sheeting, so the plain sheeting (shown here, usually used for non-passenger vehicles) was used for 40,000 plates from the KFH prefix into the KHM prefix.
On the non-passenger vehicles that these blanks were designed for, the space above "New Mexico USA" would be stamped with the vehicle type.

This is a graphic plate introduced in 1999 as a no-cost option to the red-on-yellow standard plate. Unfortunately, the graphic fade on the plate is of fairly poor quality and doesn't scan particularly well. These plates can be seen in a variety of different number-letter combinations: the first batch was issued from AA-001 to BZ-999, and the current batch is in the CAA-001 to CZZ-999 range. No word on what happens after CZZ-999.
