pl8ster.net :: Nevada license plates

This is a plate for a bus, hence the M/C suffix, which I would guess stands for "Motor Carrier."

As simple as this plate looks, it's still one of my favorites....the best plain blue plate issued, along with the CA yellow on blue. I've always thought that debossed numbers/letters were really neat. I think this is one of the plates Phil Dolan helped me with in the early stages of my collection. Thanks again, Phil.

This is the Nevada passenger issue that was issued from 1984 until 2001. That's a bighorn sheep, in case you were wondering.

This is the 2001-present Nevada passenger issue, which is quite attractive - especially in contrast to the bighorn sheep issue (above) that it replaces.

Nevada is one of a few states that will make up a vanity plate for just about anyone willing to pay them for it. For "souvenir" vanities not to be used on actual vehicles, the registration letters/numbers are painted a different color than those on the regular passenger plates. As shown on the top plate at left, they use red letters for the 'fake' vanities instead of the blue used on actual passenger plates like the one above.
The bottom plate is just a little bit of fun with Photoshop, a "fake fake Nevada vanity." It's what my "PL8STER" vanity plate would look like if I actually lived in Nevada.

Up until 1990, these tax plates were a common sight on trucks as just about anyone who wanted to get into California needed these permits to pass through Nevada. This one dates from the late 80's and looks like leftover stock, as those issued for use had annual validation stickers. Nevada settled on a permanent issue of the colors this plate around 1975, and earlier ones had an embossed and painted border. The suffix used to determine how the tax was figured, ie ton mile, though towards the end of this series, the suffix letter became generic. This series came to an end in 1991, as Nevada began issuing their Apportioned plates.
The above wealth of information was graciously provided by Sal Dodd, so thanks for that, Sal. The color is actually a bit brighter than you see here; I tried my best to reproduce it with my work scanner on my lunch break. Oh well.
