What Rhinodart is referring to is the 53 at the beginning, which immediately designates the County. As a LEO it was a great tool, especially if a car left a scene. If a witness could get the county designation, and it was from a neighboring county, we could anticipate possible escape routes and intercept them.
Now with so much revenue for all the specialty tags, there is no longer a unique designation on the numbers.
Car looks great. I lived in "27" for several years. Always like the county designation on the plates, it was fun trying to learn each county number.
