Who ever drives a vehicle with this plate is certainly a Chicago Bears fan. Anyone who cares to try to explain the meaning of "RIB RIB," is encouraged to comment. The Icon spotted this plate in Ada during the Ada Harvest and Herb Fest in September.
How many Model-T Ford-era vehicles can you count. This is an aerial view of the 1961 Bluffton parade of antique vehicles. The parade took place during the centennial celebration.
