A couple of people have asked me what's the significance of the license plate...

... aside from it being Chuck's.
Chuck was a Porsche fanatic since a young man and knew his Porsche history.
He knew, for instance, that Ferdinand Porsche's 356 #1 had this license plate when registered in Germany.

So, Chuck had his North Carolina vanity plate made to commemorate Porsche's first 356.
Happy Porsche-ing,
