Near the tail end of this series, the state apparently ran short of screened plate blanks. This particular plate was issued in Franklin county. Continuation of the 1980 series, these plates switched to a screened state name rather than embossed and added a county sticker to the bottom of the plate. This was the first use of the state-shaped divider which was used until the 1997 Gold seven-digit base. These plates were issued through approximately 1982 and were valid through the end of 1985.
These plates switched to a standard ABC-123 format and did not carry a county designation. Starting in 1980, these new blue on white plates were issued. These red on white plates were all replaced upon their expirations in 1980, making this plate one of the last to have appeared on the road. Ohio began issuing separate month and year stickers starting with the 1980 expiration, which is a practice that would continue through the 1988 expiration year. They are also produced on slightly different background stock, being much whiter than previous 1976-base plates. These plates, therefore, do not necessarily coincide with any particular county. These plates were produced to supplement the supply of available plates in the state as some counties began to overrun their allotted series.

This plate was one of a series of all-numeric plates issued starting in 1978 around plate number 600000. This particular plate was issued in Richland county. Another of these red-on-white plates, showing the AB 1234 format. These were the last Ohio plates to use the complex numbering system and county codes that had been in place since the mid-30's. These baseplates were first issued in March, 1976 and used through the end of 1980. This single-letter prefix plate was issued in Franklin county. Continuation of the 1974 issue, this plate carried the standard Ohio dies. This particular issue comes from Holmes county. This is one of those issues, as can be seen by comparing these dies to the standard Ohio dies (see next plate). Some plates in this series were made by the Polyvend corporation in Arkansas, using the same dies as Illinois plates of this timeframe. This plate was used for 1974 and 75 with stickers.
This was the first fully-reflectorized Ohio issue, and the Seat Belt slogan remained. This was also the last yearly issue for Ohio. This plate was again issued in Cuyahoga county (greater Cleveland, if you're wondering). Ask someone who had a 1973-74 model car sometime about seat belt interlock devices. These plates arose during a time of heavy interest in auto safety. This may also be the only use of a question in a slogan in U.S. This plate marked the first "slogan" in Ohio since the 1938 Northwest Territory 150th Anniversary issue. This plate was from Franklin county, as were all the all numeric issues during this period. I guess it's just the color combination, the yellow on navy blue colors look very nice together. Jim Fox tells me that, although there was no official city coding in Ohio at this time, a good deal of these "CH" series plates were distributed to motorists in his hometown of Cleveland Heights.

This plate was also from Cuyahoga, not surprising in that its serial is only one off from the plate above. This plate was issued in Cuyahoga county, as indicated by the two-alpha prefix (block AA1 through QZ9999 were issued in Cuyahoga). Scarlet on grey issue, honoring the colors of Ohio State University, which was celebrating its 100th anniversary in 1970. This was a New York die variety plate issued in Stark county. By 1970, Ohio's capacity was back to normal and standard Ohio dies were reinstated for all issues. As a result, a majority of the plates for 1968 and about half of the plates for 1969 were manufactured in New York, using distinctive New York dies of the era.

Due to a 1967 fire at the prison's plate shop in Lebanon, Ohio, the state was not up to full manufacturing capacity by 1969. Click here for a complete listing of Ohio county codes. Some municipalities required local tax payments in 1968/69, and a decal such as this was seen on some plates during that time frame. Possible combinations on this base include 12345, ABC, A1B2, ABC1, A12345, AA1234, 12345A, 1234AA, A1234B and probably others that I'm missing. Most Ohio plates of this era were issued in blocks by county, resulting in a multitude of possible combinations.
