I lived in NV for a year in '94. At the time ( IDK about now) you kept your license plate when you sold the car. The previous version was blue with silver digits and they got faded with the sun.
That was sign of a real local to sport one of those.
And they were rare as hardly anyone is a Nevada 'native'.
I was born in Long Beach. My mother and her mother were born in CA. That's as far back as I go on that side. Maybe my great was born in CA too. I'm a local.
