From the internet --
In 1935, tag numbers 1, 2, and 3 were reserved for the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the Secretary of State respectively by the Delaware General Assembly. Delaware license plate #4 and up remained in the general circulation. Nowadays car owners and family members alike cover lower number tags in the state of Delaware. Tags are transferrable from vehicle to vehicle and can also be sold from Delawarean to Delawarean. The Division of Motor Vehicles only levies a $20 fee for the transfer of a tag number from one owner to another. This allows for a family to keep a license plate number in their family from generation to generation. Ones that are not maintained run the risk of ceding back to the State and put back in general circulation.
A Delaware man shelled out $675,000 at auction for the number plate "6." The man whose name is Frank Vassallo IV, admitted afterwards that he was prepared to go as high up as 1 cool million. Mr Vassallo’s family is already in possession of plate #9 for which $185,000 was paid at auction in 1993, and number 27. When asked about this propensity for expensive vanity plates and why he wanted the number 6 plate so badly, Mr Vassallo explained that it was a family thing.
