PASSENGER

"72" base:  This design was introduced in 1972 and was renewed with stickers up to 1975 before being replaced by the graphic bicentennial design.  The border of the design resembles the state map outline.  This is the last Nebraska base with non-staggered annual renewals.  The plate number format had the county number as a prefix (see Nebraska county codes page), followed by the plate number in the format of alpha then up to four numerals, (three for double digit county numbers), from "1" through "9999" (or "999").  When the county ran out of single alpha plate numbers, the plate number went to a double alpha.

1976 bicentennial base:  This design was introduced in 1976 to commemorate the nation's 200th anniversary of independence.  The plate number format had the county number as a prefix (see Nebraska county codes page), followed by the plate number in the format of alpha then up to four numerals, (three for double digit county numbers), from "1" through "9999" (or "999").  When the county ran out of single alpha plate numbers, the plate number went to a double alpha.  For 1976, only a month sticker was given.  No "year" sticker was given because the plate already had "1976" on it.  Yearly renewal stickers were issued after 1976. 

One of the problems discovered with this very busy design was placement for the stickers.  The state did not give instructions as to the placement of the renewal stickers and each corner had something designed in it.  Stickers, therefore, can be found placed in any corner, or even above or below the dash plate number separator.
