Does Your State Allow Year-of-Manufacture Plates?

Order some vanity plates (any series) then have reproduction blue plates made to match and run them.

I estimate that a 72 would have had a 000DXB to 000GMV (mid 71 to mid 72)

To add a data point...

My 71 Challenger R/T with a SPD of April 24 1971 has a 000DNU blue and yellow plate.

Taking a educated guess, that car was probably sold May/June/July 1971. It was not special ordered.

I think that car was in Los Angeles all it's life. I've heard their DMV offices went through plates faster than less populated areas. So less populated areas might issue earlier/lower plate numbers at the same point in time due to more lingering plates in stock.
