The new Water-Winter Wonderland license plate is a hit with drivers.

Driving the news: Michigan drivers have ordered an average of 32,017 plates per month since their release in December, according to data provided to Axios.

  • That's more than double the average monthly orders of the last special plate – the Mackinac Bridge plate released in 2013.

Of note: The blue Wonderland plate was first used in 1965.
