Would you like Cubs related license plates?

June 23, 2005 by diana

Yesterday I checked to see if there were any Cubs related personalized license plates available for Illinois plates.

Our main searches were for plates with "Cubs" and a number in it. Combinations of "Cubs" and another word was not researched much. Okay, I tried "Go Cubs" and none of those were available and that's about it.

If you have a mini-van, you could choose to have either a car plate or truck plate.

With personalized plates, truck plates have the number in front of the word, car plates end with the number. Illinois permits a limit of 7 characters in their plates, so with CUBS, there are only 3 characters that can be added.

I'm told that plates with 4 letters and then numbers are not charged the higher personalized plate rate. Those just cost the same as a regular plate. That's something to look into. We can have "Cubs" license plates without paying extra for a personalized plate!

As of yesterday, here is what was available in truck plates:

18 Cubs
19 Cubs
20 Cubs

35 Cubs
36 Cubs
40 Cubs
48 Cubs
49 Cubs
51 Cubs
52 Cubs
53 Cubs
54 Cubs
55 Cubs
57 Cubs
59 Cubs
63 Cubs

70 Cubs
76 Cubs
81 Cubs
82 Cubs
90 Cubs
97 Cubs
98 Cubs

There were far fewer car plates available, as we had to get into 3 digits to find any available.

Cubs 126
Cubs 127
Cubs 129
Cubs 130

Cubs 138

The Illinois Secretary of State is now making online search and purchase of personalized and vanity license plates.

So, if you want to check to see if your Cubs related message plate is available, visit this page:

http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/

and click on "PICK A PLATE" or visit this link:

http://www.ilsos.gov/PickAPlateWeb/index...

and give it a try.

The original post with available Cubs plates (scroll up) was over a year ago, so some (perhaps all) of those may be taken. Check and see if you wish. You can always make up an original one.
