AL Auburn license plate

The origin of license plates can be traced back to the late 19th century in France in 1893. The tags were produced using porcelain and were painted block red with white lettering. Pictured is an Alabama Auburn license plate from 2009. This is a linear design and the type is printed to the plate as opposed to being embossed like older plates. 

 As per the state Branch of Documents and History, the chamber tried to put Alabama at the monetary focus of the South by broadcasting: "Alabama is geologically the Heart of Dixie, Alabama is mechanically the Core of Dixie, Alabama is, as a matter of fact, the Core of Dixie." This is seen on all of the license plates for Alabama.
