    I considered that also but it seems the sequence of the numbers and letters weren't consistent on the Canadian plates I looked up. The seem two have the digits separated 3 and 3 instead of one long number...

    Yeah in hindsight it probably would have worked but really didn't think ID-ing the state would have been this hard after the fact...I figured a 5 minute google search would clear it up.

    I didn't check all the states, but based on a quick scan... Maybe Arkansas?

    Thanks for that site - great resource. I'd hit you with green, but I apparently still have to spread it around.

    The site must have been done by a private citizen. I looked at Oregon and it showed the plate last issued in 1969 and said that it's valid if it's been continuously on the same vehicle. That's not true, you can have your old plate transferred to your new car in Oregon if you like, it just costs more money. I've seen cases where people had a particularly unique plate issued and wanted to keep it. An old plate on a newer vehicle can be legitimate.

    It does have a good array of plates though and could certainly come in handy. Good post.

    I still say the state looks red IRL

    It would have been hard to figure based on mental picture. Again IRL the state looks red but apparently it's orange. I saw it tonight on a parked vehicle, that was definitely the plate and it said Montana.

    The questions remains how are that many people from Montana traveling through a 7 square mile area of PA?
