Our license plates consisted of 2 letters followed by 3 numbers.
I pulled in to get gas and the car in front of me has BR 549, I tried to talk him into selling me the plate, illegal but this is RI, he said he's turned down $1,000 for it. A bit rich for a joke.
I did have a vanity plate back then and I had 'GOTCHA' from Laugh In
Put a 428 HO out of a Grand Prix M 22 in my '64 Chevelle also a 12 bolt.
We did some street racing here so I left the 283 emblems on, hence the GOTCHA hehe
