OK Oppos, hive mind engage...let’s nail down the year that thing was created. By the Iowa plate, I can say it was 86-96 (although it’s not a legit plate because it doesn’t have a county on the bottom or 86 in the top corner). This is the second plate I remember from Iowa. I remember the ‘79 plates, but not the ‘75.

Well, I feel stupid...started looking at other plates after posting this...and now seeing several ‘87 plates. Probably ‘87, so 30 years old.

And that Oregon plate ended in ‘87, so...yeah...thought it would be a little more of a challenge.

Cool! I hadn’t thought about that. I do think Idaho had the best looking plate at the time

The New Jersey and Pennsylvania plates date from the 80s. The Delaware plate could’ve been issued today -- they haven’t changed much since the 70s.

I always thought the font on the Washington plates was a little too perky. I remember the big switch to those plates, I want to say in late 86 or 87. Centennial Celebration was dropped in 90, I am pretty sure.

It’s hard to tell, but it looks like the Wisconsin plate is from 87-94, there was a change for 94-’00 that replaced the | separator in the ABC|123 format with a - to make ABC-123 but that is not reflected here. The type face was also narrowed slightly in 94, and this appears to be the slightly wider font from 87-94
Edit: I was right, it is the ‘87 plate http://americanart.si.edu/collections/search/artwork/?id=27722

Made in 1987
The Schoolhouse Rock generation knows it by heart, but for the Glenn Beck generation needing a phonetic, mnemonic aid for our U.S. Constitution, they’re in luck.
Gee-whiz site AutoMotto stumbled again over this collection of license plates that sort of spells out the preamble to the U.S. Constitution (the “opening credits”). Created in 1987 with vanity plates from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., the prison-labor Preamble is now a part of the vast Smithsonian collection.
