The “Water-Winter Wonderland” license plate is the newest addition to the Michigan Secretary of State’s License Plate Store.
Listed under the “Standard Plates” section of the online store, the “Water-Winter Wonderland” plate is here to bring back an old favorite.
According to the website, the plate was first issued in 1965 and was among the first license plates made of galvanized steel. The current version of the plate is a dark, navy blue with yellow lettering, and it’s made of rust-resistant aluminum.
The cost of ordering the new plate is $5, and you can have it personalized for an additional $15 on top of regular renewal or new license plate fees.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson remarked on the historical significance of the plate that was used in the year the National Voting Rights Act became law. She said, “I am proud to give Michiganders back a longtime favorite license plate that also marks a critical moment in the history of our nation’s democracy. In 1965, we worked together as a nation to protect and advance voting rights in pursuit of a more perfect union, just as today we must come together as a nonpartisan, pro-democracy coalition to protect and advance our elections.”
