There you go...... same thing.

When these plates were issued not many people in Delaware owned cars.

License plate #1 is the Governor, #2 Lt. Gov, #3 Attorney General. After that they went to the citizens of the state.

So........in the begining #10 went to the tenth person to register a car, #250 went to the 250th person in the state to register a car. Those tags today, are still active and on someones car.

Its like saying " I was one of the first people to live in this state"

They are more "vain" than vanity plates. They are like a right of passage. And there are 87000 people in the state who have them.

Only the first 87000 issued plates were made in B&W, after that they are Blue & Gold.

There are people driving old hondas worth $1500 with double or triple digit tags that are worth $100,000.

And they can sell those tags to anyone else in the state.

Its that phenomenon that I am trying to find out about.
