Title: National Bohemian Beer?
Post by: Douglas on August 25, 2004, 22:45:30

Many of us have vanity plates. For most people, "vanity" is your initials. For others, it's a nickname or maybe a name for your SL.

And for still others out there, a vanity plate is an opportunity to make an obscure allusion to a now defunct beer:

I understand the family that owned the beer company lives in Baltimore, so I'm going to assume that this Pagoda is owned by a family member.

Clearly, it's a nice Pagoda. (Did you notice that little gasket on the tail panel trim?)

For what it's worth here is my panel trim.

Doug:
I'd like to know how you keep finding these obscure Pagoda related websites. For this one, did you search Google for "beer"?
