Hot Rod Lincoln

[Racket_Man]

Not really a sucky sighting but last night I saw a license plate ( just briefly and I did not have a chance to grab my camera to snap a pic) that made me laugh

Now I translated this to mean: Hot Rod Lincoln as in the song title of the same name Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody

Yes the vehicle was a Lincoln



A nearly brand new Lincoln SUV

That's no Model A!

[protege]

It's a space station....


But seriously, at least the owner was attempting to be creative. Not like the "MY BMW" tag I see every morning on the way to work

[Javarod]

I love creative vanity tags, like the Pontiac Solstice who's plate read 'JUNE 21'

Back when i went by Jack my van ran the plate 'KNAVE' which was an obscure choice.

One of my co-workers has a Rav-4 with the plate "BMW JR"

And my friend has a Honda Fit with the plate "TANTRUM."

There's a PT Cruiser I usually see with "MTHASHIP" and an XJ6 with "Jag Auf" on it.

[Monterey Jack]

I once saw a van in the parking lot at work with a plate that read "BATMAN".

[BPFH]

If I ever own a VW Beetle, I want the license plate to read "FEATURE".

If I ever own a VW Beetle, I want the license plate to read "FEATURE".

A kid I went to school with ended up with a white VW rabbit with plates ML8ML8. I had custom plates on my IH Scout - BUNBUN.

One year when I was vacationing at the beach, I saw a SUV parked in the lot at the motel where I was staying. Its plate said "BAD MPG."

[Crossbow]

And remembering one more. Former co-worker owend a Cooper Mini. He is 6 foot 8 inches. Plate: YESIFIT

[Jay 2K Winger]

I once saw a limousine that had been kitted out to look like the Batmobile.

Its license plate read "WHAT THE"-- which was the reaction of passersby as they saw it drive past.

The car in the song is a Ford Model A with a Lincoln motor. It makes its first appearance at the end of Hot Rod Race by Arkie Shibley and His Mountain Dew Boys.

That hit was followed by:

Hot Rod Race # 2
Arkie Meets the Judge (Hot Rod Race # 3)
The Guy in the Mercury (Hot Rod Race # 4)
The Kid in the Model A (Hot Rod Race # 5)

Here is the original Hot Rod Lincoln by Charlie Ryan.

Charlie Ryan wrote the song, and had that car. Ryan owned a real hot rod that was built from a 1948 12-cylinder Lincoln chassis shortened two feet and with a 1930 Ford Model A body fitted to it.

I've seen "TIVOOM"

So when seen through the rear view mirror it's "MOOVIT"

I had an (obvious) idea for one, that I could not get due not being able to justify $85 on top of the usual license fees (standard fee for the plate itself + team/special plate + the 85 to customize it), a few years back -- a New Orleans Saints plate that would have read "31217" or "31-17", etc (only 5 characters allowed on those).

Dad once wound up with a non-custom plate completely at random -- I don't recall the exact lettering -- which ended up reading as "Equal To" -- he had it carried forward on every car he drove after that ^_^

Back when i went by Jack my van ran the plate 'KNAVE' which was an obscure choice.

If it helps, I caught the reference, Sirrah!

Its license plate read "WHAT THE"

Niiiiiiiiiiice.
