Nebraska

PASSENGER - 1996 orange sky base

Passenger:  Off and on, Nebraska has issued both yearly plates and multiyear plates, the multiyear plates being renewed with metal tabs and, later, stickers.  The last yearly plate was issued for 1965.  In 1966, the state issued its first design that incorporated the state's shape as part of the design, with the southwest corner of the state functioning as the renewal sticker placement.  For each new design, everyone received new plates for all plate classes.  The 1976 bicentennial base introduced staggered monthly renewals and was used until replaced by the plain blue/white design in 1984.  From the 1984 design forward, each design was used for three years like clockwork before being replaced with a new design, the lone exception being the 2005 issue which was used for six years.  Because Nebraska county codes the plates (see Nebraska county codes), the pages can get enormous to download.  Beginning with the "72" base, I have split the pages into the following bases, each being a link to my website page of that type:

1996 orange sky graphic:  This design was introduced in 1996 ("97" expiration sticker) and is commonly called the "Halloween plate" because of the orange and black colors.  It is very similar to the 1993 issue with the following differences: The orange sky, the windmill is at the left of the river, and the "NEBRASKA" is a different style.  The plate number format had the county number as a prefix (see Nebraska county codes page), followed by the plate number.
