1973 plate controversy [edit]

A new plate design was to accept been introduced in 1973, featuring the state flag in the center of the plate and a new ABC 123 serial format. During 1972, nine thousand pairs of these plates were produced, but before they could exist issued they were rejected by Governor William A. Egan, who objected to the use of dots rather than stars in the state flag. The plates were instead considered prototypes, with their elements being used on future plates: the revalidation sticker box in the height left corner was used on the 1974 and 1975 versions of the 1970 plate; the ABC 123 serial format was adopted in 1976; and the "Terminal Frontier" plates issued since 1981 accept the country flag in the eye (with stars).

These prototype plates are common enough to be easily found among license plate collectors.
