Florida Corvette License Plate
has anyone ever tried to get a special plate for corvettes?, they seem to have them for all the schools and any special interest group there is is, it would seem that they would sell many.

Welcome to the site Jim.
I don't know of any in Florida, but I have seen them in other parts of the country. Here is a plate from Idaho. And some info on how it came to be.
http://www.valleycorvettes.org/plates.php
I've also seen a Corvette club license plate in Maryland, I believe.
Of course Kentucky has the NCM plate.
Somebody should do that here in Florida. I know there is a lot of red tape involved.

I thought that you could go to the drivers licence place (whatever it's called) and if you have a certain amont of orders (25+ ?) that any special plate could be made up. Not sure where I heard that information, but maybe worth checking out.

No, unfortunately it takes legislation. Here is a link to the State DMV.

You're right! I was just on their site and there are like 50 plates just for the letter C! Here are two Vette plates from the NCCC and a Corvette club.

Come to think of it, I was in Tennessee in July and saw something that just didn't compute. You know how in Florida we have a lot of different college plates from around the state? In Tennesee, volunteer country, you can actually get a Tennessee plate with the University of Florida, or Georgia, or Alabama, Auburn, etc. That just amazes me that they would promote a college from another state!

I like it!
Sounds like something that maybe a Corvette Club or all of the Corvette Clubs should look into. Power in numbers!

 A Florida plate would be really nice. Hopefully it would be good looking and not something that looks like it should be on a clown car.
