Chrysler Capital reports that iron plates covered with porcelain enamel were the first to be issued by the state. The only state that continues to sell a porcelain plate is Delaware. The porcelain variant starts at $110.

In 1928, the first graphic licence plates were manufactured in Idaho. The image featured a potato, as befits Idaho.
The first personalised licence plate was made in Pennsylvania not long after that in 1931. A statement from licenseplates.tv reads, “As Americans became more prosperous, custom or official vanity license plates became very popular.”
“The increased fees for custom, personalised or vanity official licence plates have earned the states hundreds of millions of dollars and a great source of tax revenue for education (colleges), wildlife conservation and other projects.”
