? There have been two posting on the Yahoo Plate List recently from contributors who reported that they have seen Pennsylvania plates with an NX prefix followed by 5 numbers on the www base. One reported seeing the plate on a U-Haul truck, but neither was able to provid plate legend information. I have no record of any such plate and neither does the ALPCA archives. Can anyone shed any light on this plate type? Posted 5/4.

Another PERSON WITH DISABILITY MOTORCYCLE plate image. Unfortunately neither one shows the plate without a frame and other assorted adornments. As stated on the previous post, the PD and wheelchair symbol which are flat screened are not part of the registration number. The embossed P is part of the number but is a static, non-advancing character. Therefore the plate sequence will be P00A to P99A, then P00B to P99B, etc. to P99Z. That would make the P23A plate the 23^rd or 24^th to be produced. These are relatively new plates having been released on 12/21/07. They replace plates with HP decals which I have never seen.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. switches rides for 2008 and gets a new plate to go along. This NASCAR N88 plate, starting at 1000, is to differentiate between it and the older Dale Jarrett plate which also used N88, but the serial number on them began with 0100. The Dale Jarrett plate was issued for the 2004 to 2006 racing seasons. The new 88 plate also suggests the discontinuation of the NC8 Dale Earnhardt, Jr. plate which was issued from 2004 thru 2007. Posted 5/2.

Ned Flynn sent me some photos of this very unusual SUPERIOR COURT President Judge plate. It appears that the photo was taken in an area with limited light which made it difficult to enhance the image. Anyway, great find and thanks Ned. The link above will take you to the section with another Superior Court plate image also from Ned. Posted 4/29.

UNION FIRE COMPANY NO. 1 has a new specialty plate with a nice colorful logo. Posted 4/29.

Recently spotted an EMERGENCY VEHICLE plate on eBay with EV-23894 and with the tag line pluralized as EMERGENCY VEHICLES. There was a run of several thousand of these before it got changed back. Previously I listed the starting point for the plural plate legend series as beginning at EV-24000, this finding suggests that this change started in the 23000 series.

These white on red plates were supposed to have been replaced with the newer visitPA style, however, a number of these are still in use especially those around the EV-30000 point but prior to the changeover. Posted 4/20.

FRIENDS OF DRAKE WELL, INC. announces a new plate to support the Drake Well Museum. Posted 4/20.

The plate on the far left is my current plate. It's a low number PASSENGER VANITY. I had the number several years ago on the www base (near left) and just had it reissued on the visitPA base. Posted 4/13.
