Tennessee is now issuing flat plates. Regular passenger plates on the 2001 base remained embossed through the end of the issue. All 2006 issue plates are flat.

Order of formats for special plates with stacked letters: A/A 0000, 0000 A/A, 0 A/A 000, 00 A/A 00, and 000 A/A 0.

R. Rose reports 2010 sticker colors are traditional Volunteers white on orange.
Type Plate Notes Reporter
2006 general issue graphic 541 ZDL Knox Co.
The current low on the new base is 096-BBB from Wilson Co. Dave Hermanson confirms that vowels are not used on the new base. Vincent Perillo reported 327-NFD in Nashville, which is almost certainly a continuation of the plates issued to members of the Nashville Fire Dept. as on the last base. He also reports 992-MPD, which corresponds to the previous issue for the Metro Nashville Police Dept. for their personal vehicles.
R. Rose reports after 999-ZZZ will be AAA-nnnn. 		Dave Hermanson
