The Minnesota Department of Public Safety announced on September 20, 1977, that it had begun issuing license plates with a new “canoeists on a tree-framed lake” design. The plates haven’t changed much in the 35 years since then. Bored with them yet?

Not bored at all. I think they look great! Apparently the Minnesota DVS agrees.

Not in the least. Many memories tied to that exact image. Having one parent a Minnesotan (Mpls to be exact) meant summer and winter vacations to the Twin Cities and surrounding countryside. We came from quite a ways away and there was always excitement when we saw our first MN license tag. I was an impressionable 12-year old when those came out. Keep ’em.
