- VANITY. The section heading is 'Number and registration plates; special amateur radio and vanity plates', which bundles AMATEUR RADIO CALL-SIGN plates into the same provision, a class this file does not model because no format source was obtained, but which is worth recording as present: an amateur radio plate's serial is an FCC-issued call sign, i.e. a serial Delaware does not assign at all.
