Three-Digit Plate

 My (Great-)Aunt Sal had a three-digit plate because she had registered her first car in the 1930's. 673. She had a Creme-and-Cocoa Chevy and then VW Bugs when I knew her, finishing with a Superbeetle. I should have paid attention and tried to snap for it when she died in 1983.

Not quite as good a story, but I have a bottle opener I inherited from my grandfather and father with a phone number from older times. This was from before even rotary phones, when picking up the phone connected you with a live human operator who made the connection. The phone number is: "Kingsport 933-J."
