As of now, these three license plates are only found on cars from the years the plates were in service, but Thanks to Sen. Mallory McMorrow's bill there will be new license plate pressings available for an extra $55 per vehicle at Secretary of State branches.

$50 goes toward fixing Michigan’s roads, and $5 goes to the Secretary of State's office.
