The propmaster is responsible for re-plating all cars. The plates are random, made by a prop shop. Some "hero" plates are molded, other background plates are just printed on plastic.
Sometimes they are "tributes" like John Milner's roadster in "American Graffiti", The plate was THX 138 which was homage to George Lucas' first big feature "THX 1138".
