Delaware has the same low number competition. The gent I bought my 54 wrecker from had a suv sitting in his drive way said he was having truoble registering it. He bought it at a car auction. it had low didgit plate and they sold the plate seperate form the vehicle. The plate brought more than the suv. Normally in De. I think the plates stay with the vehicle and in order for the value to remain the tags registration can't be allowed to expire hence dead tags in junk yard have little value
