S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Lola License Plate Is Changing Between Episodes

Lola's License Plate No. Changes Between Episodes of SHIELD

During the marketing blitz that led up to the series premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., one of the promos for the episode included Agent Coulson telling a support staffer to not touch Lola, his red 1962 Chevy Corvette convertible... that flies/hovers.

I had noted that the license plate of the car read "681 PCE."

As far as I was concerned, the numbers from the license plate was paying homage to the first comic issues of a S.H.I.E.L.D. comic book, "Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." which came out in 1968.

I was feeling pretty smug about that.

The license plate read "681 PCE" in the pilot episode.

But then, in the second episode of S.H.I.E.L.D., I thought I was seeing things when the license plate showed up reading "381 PCE!"  I had to do a double check to make sure I wasn't hallucinating, and sure enough, Lola's license plate changed from "681 PCE" to "381 PCE."

I got nothing for ya at the moment, except that supposedly the car itself might be part of its own story.

There were three volumes of "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.."  But I think that's a stretch.

Now I have to keep my eye out in the third episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. to see what the license plate reads then.

  1. Might depend on whether the car is being used on a public street or just in studio. The California DMV allows licence plates with PCE to use numbers between 000 - 499 on public streets. Numbers are reused in various shows over the years. Examples of PCE number plates include Kit the talking car and the movie Duel back in 1971. Columbo shows also used them.
