"North to the Future" was a popular slogan on Alaska license plates, particularly prominent in the early 1970s (like 1972-1975) and even earlier in 1966-1967, celebrating Alaska's vastness and potential, often appearing with the state flag or as a design element, and remains a beloved, collectible piece of Alaskan automotive history.

Years Used: It was featured on plates around 1972-1975 and also as a special design for the 1967 centennial (1867-1967).
