It's amazing how long they've had the bronco on their plate - since 1936! Hmm....in 1936, Maine started putting "Vacationland" on its plates. You know there's a connection there.
Anyway, these plates were first issued in 1983. I believe that this and the 1975 plates were the only times the bronco/rider were screened onto the plate, and not embossed. |

This plate, also seen on my #35 page, was issued from 1988 to 1992. |

This plate was on my '89 Integra for about three months in early 1995, along with an expired North Carolina inspection sticker on my windshield, and with me having a Maine driver's license.
These plates were first issued in 1992. |

This plate was introduced in 2001 and was deemed so attractive that it was voted ALPCA Plate of the Year for 2001. A very nice-looking plate...unfortunately, the most recent issues of this plate are being manufactured with the flat Azon-Utsch process, which plate collectors almost universally deride as ugly and cheap-looking. |

See for yourself. The simple fact that it's flat is enough to put a bad taste in collectors' mouths. For me, the added insult is the unsightly font they chose for the numbers. In my opinion, if you're going to make flat plates, follow the lead of New York with its taxi and personalized plates, and use a font that exactly matches that of the embossed plates. |
