Favorite Custom Plate

A Saab 900 Turbo convertible in Chester County, PA, that passed me when I was cycling in the 1980s bore what remains my favorite custom plate:

I got the idea from a kid two doors down that game over one day shortly after I had moved from California. I was washing the Maser and he walked around the car, looking it over and over and looking up at me he asked, “are you Joe Walsh?” When I went to register the car in my new state, I got my first and only custom plate.
I get lots of grins from the one on my old Dodge A100 truck:

The A100 seems like the perfect vehicle to customize. Here’s a site in praise of the van that’s a pickup truck:
