Michigan has reintroduced its legacy license plates, with designs from 1979-1983 and 1983-2007 now available for order.
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 Michigan Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, announced that these vintage plates would be available for a $50 fee, with $45 going directly to the state's transportation fund. This move not only caters to car enthusiasts and those with a fondness for retro aesthetics but also serves as a creative solution to fund infrastructure improvements. The plates are expected to be popular among residents, potentially increasing state revenue significantly. The initiative reflects a broader trend of states using unique license plate designs to boost funds for public services.
