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!

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

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.

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

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.

Spotted a "CKTB" plate in Kitchener today, number was 840, not 610.

Tangential to this thread, back around 1986-87, the PD (Eric Samuels) for HTZ-FM in St. Catharines lived in the same townhouse/condo complex as my family. His white Mazda RX7 had the vanity plate "HTZ <crown symbol> FM". 

I wondered (as a dumb teenager) if he had a collection of such plates from all the stations he worked at.

Soooo close... I saw a CKLW 797 plate in London over the weekend.
3 More and it would have been BINGO

There are a lot of CFTR plates here in Kitchener. A few months ago I finally saw CFTR 680.

Interesting because I thought the plates that match exactly are company vehicles of those particular stations.

I've seen a lot of CJRT calls, but no matching frequencies (and all that jazz...)

Here's radio legend David Marsden's car, parked in front of his lakeside home:



ok, just kidding, it really belongs to an nythespirit.com listener and the pic is from David's FB page  

 

This isn't Canadian, but you can tell someone loved a certain now defunct NYC radio station. Interesting that it was on a Pennsylvania car.
