![]() ![]() The special issue (1996-98) Sesquicentennial plates are also all being replaced in this re-issue. It has been announced that the replacement of the older red on white plates has begun again by way of new plates sent out at renewal. The website has since been revised to say old plates will be phased out by new registrations and as customers request replacement plates. 2010 seems to have been the last year this happened. Originally when the new black on white base debuted, the DMV's website stated that all old bases would be replaced by a certain date by way of new plates issued at renewal time. It's possible they will remain even longer. The WI DMV is again renewing remaining U, V and W series old style red on white base plates, at least as far as 2013. The original plates in the AAA-101 series had blue characters, but they were changed to red because they looked very similar to the current Illinois plates at the time. ![]() It appears that this base ran through WRZ-999, then the new series listed above in the reverse format of 101-AAA with black characters began. Plates lower than that have been replaced due to defective ink on the embossed characters. This base, using narrow dies with red characters in the AAA-101 format, is still in use, but only with the letter N in the first position and higher.
