<VV> Illinois Special Event plates for the Corvair

[n5hsr]

No, most special events plates are sponsored by an organization.  One of the 
Corvair plates is sponsored by the Chicago Corvair Enthusiasts.  The other 
is sponsored by the Mid America Plate Association.

The State Fair plates you saw were from the Secretary of State because of a 
little bit of history.  Prior to Illinois having real Antique plates (1968) 
the Secretary of State's office used to issue special plates for the 
Illinois State Fair for old cars.

Now the SoS handles all plates, but you send your check and form (and copy 
of registration) into the sponsoring organization.  They then forward them 
all into the SoS office and the SoS sends out the plates.

The PBO plates issued last year for President Barack Obama were sponsored by 
the Illinois Library Association, for instance.
