I guess they were the first "specialty" plates in the us and were used to help generate funds for challenger missions. After the accident, if you had a challenger plate you could keep it as long as you renewed it every year, but the first time you failed to renew it, you were done.
ill bet that trans am came from the dealership i work for..ive been here since 1992 i may have even worked on it .the cape is 6 miles from here
