Rick & Ron,

Thanks for the ideas. The story is I had them on a car that I traded in on a truck. They automatically transfered it to the truck. I asked them to issue new plates as I wanted to keep these for a project. They said no problem and I was able to keep both. I then many years later, found out that I was supposed to fill out another form and pay a yearly retention fee. Well I have not. I checked with DMV to see if it is still in use and they said it was. So I am assuming that someone else came up with the same plate and ordered it. The other clue to the puzzle is that I think at the time, this previous car was registered in my mothers name for insurance reasons.
