Legacy tribute "CREEKY" plate in honor of my former '69 Bug...
I sold my trusty "Creeky" '69 Bug last year, on which I used to run a Connecticut "Early American" vanity plate, "CREEKY." I don't have an antique car available now to put it on (and it wouldn't seem right actually to put that actual plate onto another car). Did realize, however, that I could request a vanity "regular" Connecticut passenger plate (on "Save The Sound" base, which I think is really attractive) with the same inscription, and did so just recently. So, now, "CREEKY" lives on, as a tribute, on my '05 Outback.
BELOW: The pair of CT "EA" ("Early American" was CT's former designation for antique plates--available to any car 20 years old or older) plates (& frames) that I ran on my former '69 Bug. The "SKOOBIE" plate was on my '05 Outback until I replaced it with the new "CREEKY" plate (see the next image):
BELOW: New "CREEKY" plate as-installed on my dirty, grimy (too cold to wash) '05 Outback. Looks dull & grimy due to piece of plastic in front of it that I use to protect the plate. "SKOOBIE" just came off of it; note the skinnier font used for the seven-digit plate, to make it fit onto the Long Island Sound base (which has some of its width taken up by the lighthouse graphic):
