i've got a 72 panel i picked up. the original owner was in the military and this was his transport in germany, i got it with these plates on it and i thought it would be cool to still use them but i don't know if i can. has anyone seen a plate like this before??

I've got a few plates like that. Little to no chance of using them legally on your Bus.

Heck, it says "USA" on it, roll it and let us know how far you go.

Thats a cool plate. I love collecting old plates. I have about 20-30 plates on my shop walls. Every bus I buy, I keep the plates as a little reminder. Ive got some cool old ones (yellow/black cali plates) and some not so cool modern plates. I also hang all of the hubcaps I have replaced over hte years on my wall. Cool looking garage art.

Depending on the state here in Washington State we can run collectors on the back and what ever on the front. I run German ones on the front.

Those states make me jealous. You have to have those lame-ass government-issue plates on both sides here in Ohio. :roll:

washington pretty relaxed about most things, i'm gonna give it a shot, that'd be sick if i could run it.
