Friday, January 28th, 2011

KTH0729

This 7 Digit vanity plate was spotted in Trenton back in March of 2007. It is in an ABC1234 format, but New Jersey never got past ADJ9999 and doesn’t use leading zeros.

Plate of the Week: 2004 3M Discover NJ History Prototype

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

This week we take a look at a 2004 3M Discover NJ History Prototype.

First a bit of background. The Discover NJ History plate was first introduced in 1997. In 2001, the MVC changed vendors for reflective sheeting from 3M to Avery. The Avery sheeting did not hold up well, as was experienced in other states and provinces that used it. In 2003, the MVC switched back to 3M.

This plate was produced for testing and approval by the MVC in cooperation with 3M.  There are various notations on the back of the plate (see photo below) that show that this is no ordinary sample.
