I claim fame to the Wave Design as I was the one who designed that. Unfortunately at the time I was a kid. The Providence Journal newspaper had a weekly contest. A Reader could have their own Political Cartoon put in the paper and they would send you a check for $25.00, hey at age sixteen this was some good money! I created a cartoon of the license plate with this wave design and a slogan that said catch a crime wave. The topic was the RISDIC fiasco from the 1980’s.
