the wife has always has vanity plates . my 53 has plates that read 8 flaty , the bird i didn't bother as i figured it was just a temporary beater ,uhuh that's why it's developed a wish list ............. and the 52 i haven't given any thought too yet .. i once had a plate that said , and i kid you not , till the sec 'o' state boys came and took it and i had to go get another , SMRT ARS. it was on a pinto i had for a beater that had a " personalized " make moniker .... i had a 66 buick special i was customizing and dechromed ... i took the uck from buick and the f from ford ............ that darn car got me all sorts of unwanted attention ..............
