make application for a special combination of letters
and numerals not
exceeding seven. Antique motorcycle license plates shall

system shall consist of not more than five letters
of the alphabet or numerals or a combination of letters and numerals.
Such application shall be made in a manner prescribed by the director of

of letters or numerals designated by the applicant have been assigned
to another antique vehicle registered in this

lewd or indecent meaning or connotation, as determined by the director,
the division shall assign such combination of letters to the applicant's
vehicle.

setting forth that the model year license plate the person wants to display on
the person's antique vehicle is a legible and serviceable license plate that

license plate.
The model
year license plate fee shall be $40.
