That's been going on for a while, right?
if it has I'm behind times, heard about it this week folks all upset
The news article I find is dated 10-29-21
I titled/licensed a trailer in Montana in 2018. I got one of those blue plastic? vinyl? plates.
Serious ??? Wow
No aluminum?? Are the prisoners in Deerlodge takin a vacation now? Why don't they fire up one of the old smelters in Anaconda and stamp out some copper plates? I'm sure they'd develop a nice patina.
No aluminum?
How are they going to make beer and soda cans?
I'll take a picture of the plate after it gets light this morning.
Not to hijack you, but ATK in Lewiston is shutting down lines due to lack of brass. Not just aluminum.
it's just crazy
Joe, I lied to you. The plate is aluminum, but is not embossed. The writing/numbers are painted on.
Oh ok. Yeah I do remember those too. You're forgiven.
These are bad times.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
illinois should switch to vinyl. those aluminum plates made by the crook Governors are hella expensive
Already been complaints about clod/breaking, and we haven't even started winter yet, and you know how cold winter gets here,,,
I always thought the Montana plates said Big Sky Country on them, has it changed?
They went nuts awhile back. Some say Big Sky, some are Treasure State, Some just Montana.
Then you have the themed plates; Agriculture,sports, recreation,wildlife,this group,that group. There were over 230 plates to choose from.
Don't know if this shortage issue has changed the number of available styles.
Treasure State is Montana's official nickname, but yes, it is commonly referred to as "Big Sky Country", and the license plats have been labeled as such.
