With apologies to Shakespeare … his line, “Frailty, thy name is woman” is often misquoted as “Vanity, thy name is woman,” so I hope he doesn’t mind another misquote.
We’ve always lived in states that required both front and rear license plates on our vehicles. So, when we transferred our vehicle registrations to Florida and received our new license plates, we were a little taken aback that only rear plates were provided. That’s all the state requires.
The Phaeton and the CR-V both felt a little naked without a front plate. What to do? Well, we decided to get some fun vanity plates made, and we went all out and used a couple of our favorite travel photos for custom backgrounds.

Dressed up and ready to hit the road.
Here’s a closer look …
This plate represents our travels in the US …
… and this one represents our non-Phaeton international travels.
Erin these are just GREAT! What a good idea. You've made changing everything to Florida seem so easy and almost fun.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful, Erin! Now for sure we will never miss you going down the road.
ReplyDeletenice!..really nice!..what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! I have never heard of a state not requiring front and rear plates. Nice of them to give you a blank canvas for your creativity!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a genius idea! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe plates look wonderful, and a soupçon of amour-propre never killed nobody. Just ask J.J. Rousseau! :))
Great idea! I have a feeling it is going to be copied:)
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool! What a great idea. Wish I had an empty space on the front of my vehicles. So I'll just have to settle for a blank look on my face as I drive down the road.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I really like those plates! None like them anywhere, for sure!
ReplyDeleteHow very cool!
ReplyDeleteLove them! I want to move to a state that doesn't have a front license plate!
ReplyDeleteI've never understood the need for the front plate. Don't the "authorities" usually come up from behind?
ReplyDeleteVery cool choice of photos. Bears from the North, and all those penguins from the South. And Man! That's a lotta penguins.
Musta been smelly?
Bayıldık hepimiz !!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea....!! Did you order them online or local ?
ReplyDeleteSue, we ordered them online from a company called Build A Sign; plenty of others out there as well.
DeleteHow totally cool! Arizona also does not have front plates, but we were not nearly as clever and just bought cute ones for the front. I'm going to have to look into this.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! So glad you shared this. Our new Jeep has a front holder since we purchased it in CA. PA only has a rear plate. We were wondering what to do with the front holder. We now have a very cool idea. Thanks!
