Back in the mid-80's, before I had a mortgage and other such expenses, I had Vermont vanity plate WKRP. Only one of those plates remains in my possession.

I have W4DXL but I guess Ham radio calls don't count. 
I had OLDIES for a number of years till the Commonwealth jacked the vanity rates, I wonder if anyone picked it up?
You can search for plates here:

OLDIES seems to be taken.
According to the site, it is now $50 to apply for a new vanity plate PLUS $75 a year for registration
(versus $50 for two years for a regular plate)

LaPierre used to tool around with BZNEWS tags back in the 70s. Don't know if it was his car, but they disappeared along the time that Goldman and shook the then foundering station to its core after he took over as GM when McGannon heard about a few things going on at the station that wrecked at least one executive's career.

Len Goldman was in the television sales department, and later split to channel 7.
Do you mean Bill Hartman?

In the early 70s, when I was home for Christmas from college, there was an MGB GT with MA plates "WBCN CE" on it (red on off-white), near my folks' house in Stamford, CT. The last name on the mailbox was Edgerton, and I believe he was visiting his folks for the holidays. Never did catch up with him, but I should look him up in QRZ for grins.

I used to have"OLDIES" on my Mustang.....
Several years ago, I saw a car in the parking lot of a Michigan supermarket with the MI license plate "WSM 650".
It was definitely a passenger car plate (sequential assignment) - as the AAA 111 and 111 AAA plate schemes (at the time) were officially off-limits for vanity plates to avoid duplication with the then "normal" numbers.

Massauchusetts regular-series plate 860-WGR still parks every day on the block where WJIB is. Now WGR was never on 860, but they're both either a frequency or a call-sign! - In fact, most states have used the 3 letter 3 number (and/or reverse) numbering system, whioch must have made for a lot of 'radio plates'. California was the first, starting in 1956. Then New Jersey in 1959. In Canada, Ontario was the first, in 1973. And current New Brunswick truck plates, all starting with "C" (for Commercial) have made some very interesting 3-letter call-signs with correct frequencies too. Nova Scotia started with AAA-100 back in 1983.... and they haven't gotten thru the B's yet.
