FAKES

Notes Number Plate Personalized Plate Sample Plate
- These plates have a number from the Classic Car series, on what appears to be a '77 base, but without sticker wells, using a pre-1971 font, and were seen at a car show. They are not believed to have been issued by PennDOT. The plate is considered a fake. Further research confirms this.
