I finally found it

09/28/2014 at 22:15 • Filed to: None

Tonight, on a short, routine drive to Krispy Kreme to pick up donuts for my homeroom tomorrow, I spotted a vehicle with the Nebraska license plate, "1". I knew it had to be running around somewhere, and I had long wondered what kind of pricey ride I would see it on. Take a guess, Oppo, what kind of car do you think bore this coveted plate?

Check other people's comments to see who's narrowing it down.

EDIT: Axial got it, it was a silver Buick Park Avenue (non-Ultra).

Mazda Miata seems to obvious. Was it a Toyota Camry?

You are very optimistic. Remember, in Europe, people pay extra for desirable plates. Here in NE, they're $30, no matter what it says.

You're thinking kinda on the right track. It was a generic sedan.

Chevy Malibu.

Or maybe a Camry.

It was a GM product.

Brian Silvestro > sm70- why not Duesenberg?

How do you think I could afford mine?

Brian Silvestro > sm70- why not Duesenberg?

I wish I wasn't addicted to motorsports...then I wouldn't be poor

An Early 2000s W-Body.

Diesel > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:28

Was it a van?

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Diesel
09/28/2014 at 22:28

Not a van

Cadillac De Ville.

09/28/2014 at 22:29

You're reasonably close, actually.

Diesel > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:29

Pontiac G6. That was a GM product right?

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Diesel
09/28/2014 at 22:29

I think it was. But no, it wasn't on a G6.

Your boy, BJR > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:30

Buick Lucerne

carcrasher88 > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:31

Reasonably close has me thinking either Cadillac DTS or Buick Lucerne...or maybe a Seville.

GhostZ > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:31

Doesn't mean there isn't a black market for selling the plates back and forth.

OPPOsaurus WRX > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:31

it was used as a fundraiser to build a scaled model of fenway sized for youth baseball. I did some site planning fro it but I dont think it ever went anywhere. The RedSox were on board with it. If it went thru, I would have been responsible for documenting the park for and drawing the construction drawings for the new mini park. I was really looking forward to getting to go all thru Fenway but it aparently failed.

GhostZ > Your boy, BJR
09/28/2014 at 22:32

Wait, do they drive anything else in Nebraska?

GhostZ > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:32

Giving that it's NE, I'm going to say a GT500 or Camaro ZL1.

Edit: Second guess after reading the comments: 2000s Chevy Impala.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Your boy, BJR
09/28/2014 at 22:32

You're very close.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > carcrasher88
09/28/2014 at 22:32

Closer still...

Axial > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:32

Buick Riviera? Oh, one worse: Pontiac Bonneville.

My citroen won't start > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:33

So Cadillac?

OPPOsaurus WRX > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:33

i was looking to see if I could find anything about it now and I dont even think the website is up but i did find this

Jim Holtzman , president of Ace Tickets, paid $31,000 for plate No. 1

Vi517, JDX Racing > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:33

Cadillac CTS?

Your boy, BJR > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:33

LeSabre

LaCrosse

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > GhostZ
09/28/2014 at 22:33

Nope and nope

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Axial
09/28/2014 at 22:34

Both very close

Axial > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:35

I will laugh if it turns out to be a LeSabre. So hard.

Fourth guess: Park Avenue. Certainly, it's not an Olds Aurora.

I wass going to guess an RX300 but it likes likes its heading more in the direction of Chevy Malibu?

You're getting much warmer.

Or you could be me. A 16 y/o lusting after a black on black on black ATS.... talk to me when you're this kinda poor.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

Park Avenue!

Brian Silvestro > norskracer98-ExploringTheOutback
09/28/2014 at 22:38

ATSs are so heavy!

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > My citroen won't start
09/28/2014 at 22:39

Correct, but someone already got it.

norskracer98-ExploringTheOutback > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:39

ATS? DTS? STS?

My citroen won't start > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:39

Yeah, I saw it afterwards, close though.

norskracer98-ExploringTheOutback > Brian Silvestro
09/28/2014 at 22:39

BUT LUXURY!!!!

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > norskracer98-ExploringTheOutback

Somebody got it.

Axial > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:41

Woohoo! I have one of those sitting in my garage. With a busted conrod. I know, shocker, a 3800 Series II demolished itself!

Actually, this is the perfect car to have a "1" plate on. No. 1 in giving no fucks!

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > GhostZ
09/28/2014 at 22:42

Yeah. Some people drive Cavaliers and get the wheel covers at Autozone.

Steve in Manhattan > sm70- why not Duesenberg?

Does no one here read the trades? That is the test mule for Cadillac's new Allante replacement. It will have digital gauges and a top that doesn't seal.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
09/28/2014 at 22:43

Oops, missed this one. Someone got it.

Little Black Coupe Turned Silver > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/28/2014 at 22:54

Was it on the generic plate or the Husker plate? I imagine the Husker plate would be more desirable/expensive...

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Little Black Coupe Turned Silver
09/28/2014 at 22:56

Either generic or some other special interest, but not Husker.

Brian Silvestro > norskracer98-ExploringTheOutback
09/28/2014 at 23:01

If it's luxury you're looking for, I'd probably go for the new C-Class's beautiful new interior.

The ATS has that shitty touch screen anyway.
