Re: DANA LICENCE PLATE FRAME
 

Nice job Joe! It's just the way you like 'em. I go back to that conversation from a long time ago. How many times can you earn $1,000 and how many times can you find another one? I can't always use that to convince myself to bid like that, but sometimes it helps.

Congratulations!

Re: DANA LICENCE PLATE FRAME
 

Did you buy it Joe?

Re: DANA LICENCE PLATE FRAME
 

Yep.

Re: DANA LICENCE PLATE FRAME
 

Very cool!

Congrats [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: DANA FRAME-$1025.00
 

Congrats Joe! I was so close to bidding on that but had a rare moment of restraint.

Re: DANA FRAME-$1025.00
 

I have one of these. MIne is nicer than the $1025 one and is original.

How much did you get for it?

Re: DANA LICENCE PLATE FRAME
 

I don't think it's fair to anyone to disclose the selling price. It was fair considering the condition, and historical significance. I was happy to own it but I feel good knowing it made it &quot;home&quot;.

Re: DANA LICENCE PLATE FRAME
 

Then do not sell it,if you can't price it for any one or all.

Re: DANA FRAME-$1025.00
 

Congrats Joe way to go.

Well, I did sell it. I did not advertise it but someone made an offer to buy and he backed it up with money. I still don't think it's my right to disclose what it sold for. If the new owner wants to come on here and post what he paid, so be it. I have no problem with that.

Re: DANA LICENCE PLATE FRAME way to go Joe.
 

$1025.00 ,now that was not hard or rigid,severe,and or harsh. AND NO STARS UNDER YOUR NAME?

I don't think I understand your point. I did not sell it to someone from this site, as far as I know, although I was contacted by a couple people from here. What difference does it make? PM me if you want to discuss it further.

Re: DANA LICENCE PLATE FRAME
 

I don't think that you need to disclose your price. That should be between the seller and the buyer. Congrats on the sale!

Re: DANA LICENSE PLATE FRAME
 

Just found these at the last Pomona swap meet.

Any idea who did the chrome work on it?

This DANA license plate frame was introduced and only offered for a short period of time at DANA Chevrolet. This frame was introduced in the late 1969/early 1970 time frame. I am aware of one other that is in a collection.

Where's the proof? I'm highly skeptical Dana would bother with something like that.

This topic came up during one of my discussions with Dale. Although he left the dealership in late Dec 68, he did recall a chrome version style frame. It appeared in late 69 or the early part of 70 at DANA Chevrolet not at the Hi-Performance Center as it was already dissolved. Could not say for sure if all vehicles received this frame or if it was promotional. This plate has the Robert W. Brown insignia stamped on the back and has the casting flaws and inclusions as the earlier frames. There has been some discussion about a reproduction frame some time ago. I believe that particular frame is chrome as well but is noticeably different in appearance. I was contacted by an individual awhile back who owns such a frame. I will look for the contact information and see if I can get a picture.

The DANA Chevrolet license plate frame I made reference to. What I recall the frame doesn't have the Robert W. Brown insignia stamped on the back.

Looks like that frame has the lower mounting holes milled off....


Here's a beat up Dana plate on a Corvair here in AZ!:headbang:

That license plate frame has seen better days......but I like it.

Great pic ! :D

One of my back burner projects has been making a repro of my original Dana frame so I have a one for the front/rear of my Corvette. I picked up another Robert W Brown frame, had a friend machine off the artwork and finally got around to (read 10 years later) making a mold with silicone mold putty and an Epoxy resin casting of the artwork.

The putty did an ok job of capturing the textured background and the Chevrolet text in the bowtie, and a little Nitro-Stan took care of the pin holes. From arm's length it's pretty hard to tell the frames apart (Original is on the bottom in the pix). “Alot of tape and a little patience make all the difference.” :)

Will update the post after I highlight the lettering in white...

I appreciate your persistence and resourcefulness. Nice job.
