Title: Beach Boys-related license plates
Post by: CenturyDeprived on November 03, 2016, 02:57:52 PM
Has anyone ever seen a personalized BB license plate randomly on a car? Or how about a random 3-letter combination (issued as a “normal” plate) that just happens to have a BB connection?

Here are two I’ve seen and photographed recently (granted, they are a stretch)!

We do it holding hands, it’s so cold I go…

And I posted this one awhile back in another thread…

Also - I saw Marilyn's car randomly driving on the freeway once in LA - The Honeys personalized plate on the car gave her away. Same plate as on the Jeep on The Honeys' LP.

Anyone got any more BB plates to share?

Brian had a PETSOUNDS plate on the back of his tour bus last year.

Nice! I love it. How often does that license plate cause strangers to strike up conversations with you about the band?  I imagine having a Thunderbird also helps!

Mine has "GOODVBS".  I tried to get "PETSNDS" but it was already taken in the state of Michigan.

Just saw this plate last week on the freeway. While I highly doubt this was personalized by a fan making an intentional BB reference, you never know...

Just spotted this on the interwebs. One has to wonder if this belongs to a BBs fan?

  That's cool. Do you mean it was an actual personalized vanity license plate? California issue?

The demise of Tinypic has sadly erased many pics in this thread  :-\

Anyway, here's a great accidental BBs plate I just saw:

I'm getting a new car soon, and am considering getting a personalized plate that says "SMILE."

In my area there were a ton of license plates that started with CATP a few years ago.  I hoped we would get one when  the time came for a new license but no luck.

Saw this a couple of weeks back in NL while stuck in a traffic jam:
