1998 Volvo V70

In the late 1970s when New York State first began offering custom vanity plates, one New York resident successfully ordered the one and only “New York,” New York license plate. The family has maintained ownership of the plate ever since.

“In the late 1970s when I suggested to my father to order the plate, I knew that it was special... I just never realized how special,” says the owner, whose family has been driving around New York with the license plate on various vehicles over the past 40 years.

A family heirloom, the only street-legal “New York,” New York license plate is now being offered for the first time along with the world’s most expensive Volvo with an asking price of $20 million. The license plate is completely transferable to its new owner and can be placed on most vehicles.

This one-of-a-kind piece of memorabilia is a significant part of New York’s history - so much so that its likeness is sold in souvenir shops across New York City as well as online. It is the only street-legal New York license plate that exists bearing the name of its state, and it can never be duplicated. There are very few things in the world of which there is only one-- Will you be the ONE to own a piece of New York’s history?

*Transferring the registration will be handled by counsel with all monies to be placed in escrow until the transaction is complete. This is being offered for sale by a private seller. The transaction will be completed by the buying and selling parties. NY DMV transfer fees will be paid by the seller.
