Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Mario Lemieux Foundation and Presque Isle Partnership. Thanks to Dillon Hornberger and Bruce Bufalini for the pictures - keep them coming!

NOTE: PennDOT recently released a prototype image for the Presque Isle Partnership showing an updated logo, see below. This is the first plate type on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base to have more than one format on the new base!

NEW PLATE ALERT! John Clark informed us that the Fairmount Rowing Association will soon have its own plate. Keep your eyes peeled!

This blue base Repossessor plate comes from an eBay listing (user "tugboat1980") and is only the second observed plate on this format. As always, click the link to see a complete history of the plate type.

James Ruppert sends in this "first-of" image of a personalized Limerick Fire Department plate. A numbered version of this plate type on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base was first observed in October 2025.

Last up this week, another "first-of" for this website: a Prince Hall F&AM plate with the map outline in place of the sticker well. Thanks to Richard Than for the find!

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Lancaster Bible College and The Video Game Clubs of America. It should be noted that this is the first image of a Lancaster Bible College plate, despite the plate type first being announced on this site exactly 11 years ago on February 15, 2015. Thanks to John Clark for the pictures - keep them coming!

Jeffrey Henry sends in this picture of a personalized Conserve Wild Resources plate, a "first-of" for this site. Thanks Jeffrey!

Here is a new high for this base of the School Bus plate type, thanks to eBay user "lenzstuff". This plate type was printed on this base from the early 1990s to about 2000, when the general replate was done to the "WWW" base.

Someone who goes by "Tuscarora Antiques" spotted this picture of an Arizona State University plate which is a previously unknown format (no sticker well!) What's more curious is that the legend adds "ALUMNI ASSN" which is exclusive to this format. There's always something new to learn about PA plates!

Lastly this week is a new high for 1945 Motorbike plates. This type started in 1920 and eventually became "Moped". On this site those two types are consolidated into the one page that is linked here. This image comes from eBay user "jrkohr".

This week is the first week since September 14, 2025 to not have any new plates types spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base. This breaks a 21-week streak! Ahh! Keep your eyes peeled out there!

This shot of a Motorcycle Dealer plate from Zach Bent is not a new high but is a great quality picture to feature! As we have remarked before, we can't always get a good picture but it's nice when we do!

James Ruppert shares this picture of a Penn Alumni plate without a sticker well. This was a transitional format between plates with sticker wells and plates with the map outline where the sticker well used to be. This site has a picture of a personalized plate on this format but this is the first picture of a numbered plate on this format, which helps further tighten up changeover points for serial ranges. Thanks James!

Here's a new high for the Person With Disability plate type, sent in by Aaron Shirk. NOTE: We were told by a PennDOT employee that the "Person with Disability" legend was to change to "Let Freedom Ring" at the end of 2025. None of these have been observed so far so keep your eyes peeled, and always be sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

Last up this week (left image, from eBay) appears to be a low number 1933 Motorcycle plate but it's actually part of the second serial format. The first plate was number "1" and went through "9999", then "A1" through "A999", then "B1", etc. The highest observed number for this year is "B486". One quirky thing about 1933 Motorcycle plates is that the "33" and "PA" moved from the left side of the plate to the right side (see right image, from Jeff Lesher). As always, click the link to see a complete history for all years!

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix and Waynesburg University. Thanks to John Clark for the pictures - keep them coming!

NOTE: A prototype image from PennDOT exists for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix type with an updated logo (picture below). None have been observed to-date. Please keep your eyes out for one, as this site is in need of an image.

NEW PLATE ALERT! Our own John McDevitt shares that the Eagles Autism Foundation will soon have an organizational plate! Keep your eyes peeled for this one!

Chris Van Zandt sends in this shot of plate number 4 on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base! This number has been photographed on several bases over the years: the second picture, from an anonymous contributor, on the Visa base and the third picture, from Tom Perri, on the "WWW" base. This is classified as a vanity/personalized plate, which can be found under the "Personalized Plate" column of the Passenger page of this website.

After doing some digging, we finally have a decent image of the Municipal Motorcycle plate type on the Visa base. PennDOT first put out a prototype image of this type on the Visa base back in 2017 and the first time one was observed in the wild was in January 2024 by John Fedorchak (third picture). Another pair of Municipal MC plates was observed on the Facebook page for the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police (fourth picture). More recently we received a new high of "M/G 43G" from Ben Vaughn (second picture). This is what is so wonderful about this website, the community of plate lovers who can pool their resources to get the most complete and accurate website possible! Remember to click on each picture to see a larger version, and as always make sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

Lastly we have this Civil Defense plate for a previously undocumented county number (county #41 is Lycoming County). Per the plate type page of this website, "These undated plates were issued during the Cold War era. Plates were issued by the State Office of Civil Defense, today known as the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency or PEMA, and were distributed by PA's 67 counties. Plates were front mounted on vehicles, and were given to people who had a role in civil defense. The first part of the plate number represents the county code, the second part is the plate serial number, all are undated. It has been suggested that not all counties issued these plates."
