Type Plate Notes Reporter
Passenger 014 FNJ Dale Jacobsen reports that Waldale plates began at ZPN. Dale also reports that ZZZ 999 will not be issued, but will be displayed in the collection at the main DMV office in Salem. The highest Z series plate reported is ZZZ 996 by Andrew Fields. The reverse series began at BAA. Andy Smith confirmed 141 BAA. Irwin-Hodson will be making future Oregon plates, but existing Waldale plates will be used until exhausted. Paul Petrinovich

Pacific Wonderland 9Q-2357 This is the optional "retro" plate Oregon is issuing in celebration of the state's 150th birthday. The original plate of this type was the standard issue in Oregon from 1959 to 1964. This is a limited edition plate with only 40,000 to be offered. These plates will be available for passenger vehicles only. They became available March 1, 2010. There is a one-time surcharge of $100 to get a set of these plates, but no extra charge to renew them. Proceeds from the sale of these plates will be divided between the Oregon State Capitol Foundation and the Oregon Historical Society.
The sample has the number 9P-0000, so numbering probably began at 9P-0001. 9P-9890 has been seen, and the series has advanced to 9Q. 		Walter Wong

Specials FDCE NEW Oregon uses a generic format of A AAA on its various Specials, although some types use the same AAAA format with no spacing. Generally, the tree base uses a space, but the new Military and Bicycle plates do not have a space. As in some other states, plates are made on demand rather in blocks, so DAAA could be a Military plate, and DAAB could be a "Share the Road" plate. Paul Petrinovich
