New Ontario Plates

[EJChevy]

How would a plate collector get his hands on one of those new plates? Hey EJ...if you got an extra one kicking around, or one falls off someones car, would you send it to me? LOL

You'll probably see one on a car in your neighbourhood sooner rather than later. They're only held on by screws.

On the new one?

Yes. When the salesman went to get the new plates she told him that. Guess she tried it. LOL.

I don't know how... I took a look. It's not painted, it's actually a sticker. It doesn't chip. I guess if she sharpened her nails into makeshift knives.

Stickers...That's pretty cheap... Wonder how long before they fade beyond recognition...

They do look kind of cheap with no raised lettering. Will have to see how reflective they are in night driving. I will say this, it will look very good on my Elkhart Lake Blue C8 in terms of colour match. I wish we could drop the front plates completely. I hate the look of them on the front of cars.

They're actually very reflective, having shined a light on them. They'll likely pop just as much as the old ones, if not more.

Ever since the people in prisons stopped making license plates they have gone to crap. You used to be able to find 50 year old plates that were in better shape than the ones now. Sourced out to save money I guess. Not like the prisoners had much else to do.

They are still made in correctional institutes. The new blue ones are made in Lindsay, Ontario.

A place to grow weed.

It doesn't look bad.

Hey, lets not mistake Douggie with Justin, Justin is the weed master of Canada! lol

I actually like the look of the new plates over the old style. Have to see them in person though.

Really? I just heard they were sourced out to some place cheaper.

Don't know where you heard that from. It's probably a #FakeNews jab at Doug.

All Ontario licence plates are made by Trilcor Industries. Its name comes from the words trillium, the provincial flower, and corrections - the plates are made by prisoners at the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay.

Must have been fake news that I heard. Then the prisoners must be given cheap materials to work with cause plates now are pure crap.

Ford's new blue plates are officially here. We just got our first ones in. Incidentally for a new Corvette customer.

What do you think of them?

They aren't as high quality as the old ones. It's literally a flat bit of sheet stainless steel with a sticker slapped on the front of it. The letters are no longer raised. I do like the blue background, but it's bright and bold and may clash with some paint colours. I'm not a fan of the font used for 'Ontario' and 'A Place to Grow'.

UGH !! I have 1967 Ont plates I use for events on my 1967 427/390HP L-36 roadster....nice medium blue with clean white numbers/letters....hugely better than the Ford 2020 garbage plates. When are they going to learn ??
