Five Professions That Bafflingly Get Their Own License Plates

The United States has a wide variety of specialty license plates, with each state issuing its own unique designs.

Some plates promote a driver’s alma mater, raise awareness for social causes, or support local organizations. Certain professions also have their own specialty plates, such as steamfitters and beef growers.

This article highlights five unusual profession-based license plates, including one for horologists in Pennsylvania, beekeepers in Georgia, a burger chain in Texas, pumpkin show enthusiasts in Ohio, and another for farriers in an unspecified state.
