120 if it is the Woz just off the coast of Hawaii or 260 if it is the Woz just off the coast of an English speaking nation that uses all 26 letters of the alphabet (some countries do not use the letters I and O as they can get confused with 1 and 0)

There could be as many as 520 people, because they could have any one of 26 letters, any one of 10 digits and the letter can be before or after the digit. As Friar Tuck says, tt would be advisable in this case to omit I and O, so this would reduce the number of possible cars to 480.

Whoops I forgot about putting the number first or last. Nice one Gnomon
