Back in the late seventies when I was in college, I had a vanity plate that read: "BO IN" What was the car?

Answer: Bo in Arrow. Plymouth Arrow.

In 1973 our listener, Steve Blunden, had a license plate that read "16OZO." (Here's a hint, he was never rear-ended.)

Answer: Pinto (16 oz = 1 pint, + o = Pinto)
