Year 2001 Plates
Welcome to the "Great Vanity Plate Archive" for 2001.  This is the show case of the winning entries received in the World Famous LUV 2 LAF contest during the past year. 
Even as our cars and trucks become increasingly "futuristic," vanity license plates continue to grow as a timeless and very popular, North American, "folk art."  LUV 2 LAF gives everyone a chance to share that little bit of zany vanity or creativity, political whit, or  just plain attitude, with the world.  Enjoy your visit and if you've got a "Great One" why not share it?  

You just might win one of our highly collectable 'Zuko Radio Toons" T-shirts for your effort.
