The article from Hoodline discusses Michigan's initiative to reintroduce classic license plate designs from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, aiming to tap into nostalgia while also generating additional revenue for road maintenance.

The initiative reflects a broader trend of states using unique license plate designs to boost funds for public services.
