The Puzzler. Week of 5/25

Ray: You're driving in your automobile on a fine Spring afternoon in our fair city, and you see in front of you another car with an interesting license plate. And the license plate has 6 characters. They are T-A-N 2-7-0. The questions is: What make of car is the license plate attached to. That's it; elegance in it's simplicity.

Tom: Aren't you going to give them a hint?

Ray: Do you think it's necessary. I was hoping to save that for weeks two and three. Okay, okay. The hint is high school.
