I have 1988 plate on my 1988 Formula. It was the last year for plates.

My family had a rows of plates since the 1910's in the boat house. We sold the property to someone who says he absolutely love the Victorian cottage and was not planning on changing it. This was the big reason we sold it to the guy. A year later he tore the place down and built a huge McMansion. When we heard of the demolition we ask to save the plates and few other memories we left behind. We even ask if we can saved some of the turned woodwork from the interior and stained Tiffany glass. By the time we got there it was all debris and hauled off to the landfill.
It made me sick to my stomach to see such destruction of Victorian woodwork and stained glasses. I was told it is happening to a lot of old fine lakefront homes.
