Re: Licence plates matching call letters
I just got back from a quick outing and saw a CKFH license plate in the parking lot. I can only hope it's their second car, because everyone else's is number one!

It was all announce-op during my AM drive time in the 60's.

I saw a CETR 680 plate on the 401 the other day. At first glance it looked like CFTR 680.

My plate is CKFH accompanied by a Blue Jay logo. Of course 'FH carried the Jays games in the '70s (and before that the Expos).

Re: Licence plates matching call letters
I’m in London right now and I saw a plate with CFSK today - the call letters for Global Saskatoon. Later I saw CKNY, which is the call sign for CTV North Bay.
I’ve seen CFPL, CKNX, and CKVR on plates in Toronto in the past.

In the Ottawa Valley, a CJET plate will come along every so often, far from Smiths Falls, but haven't seen a CJET 630 plate. Any CJET alumni on Big Yella?

Found another one in London, today - CJBK. Number wasn’t 129 though.

Sadly, thanks to Bell, that's about the only place you'll see CJBK in London now.

Re: Licence plates matching call letters
There is a Tesla Model 3 in mid-town Toronto (Christie St & Davenport Road area), With the letters "CJCL". The number is not 590 - which is the Rogers A.M. Frequency.
Two things that are interesting. First, in Ontario Electric Vehicles are assigned a special "Green" licence plate with the Letters "GV##-###". The CJCL plate on the Tesla, is not a Green Vehicle plate. It is a "blue lettering" plate, that would be associated with an Internal Combustion Engine vehicle, secondly, the blue lettering is normally on a so-called "Vanity Plate" where the car owner pays an additional fee to personalize the plate.
