“Syracuse Nationals is the largest car show in the Northeast, making it a great opportunity to connect with customers who are car enthusiasts,” said New York State Department of Motor Vehicles Acting Commissioner Christian Jackstadt. “We encourage attendees to stop by to learn about DMV’s custom, vintage and historical license plates, and we will also have giveaways, including the always popular commemorative Syracuse Nationals license plates. There is a limited supply, so get there early!”
