I have a USA 1 plate on my 69 Corvair. I don't think it's the one you are looking for though. I don't have a close-up picture and the car is at my Dad's house now. I can look tomorrow. How can I tell if my plate is "right" for my Corvair?

[MosportGreen66]

Yeah sure let me know.
Its for my brother so he has last call...

[/ QUOTE ] Are these plates available as reproductions?"Putting You First Keeps Us First"Is this a plate that was available in 1970?I'm also looking for two (repros) if someone knows where I can find them.

[MosportGreen66]

The repops are much different than the originals.
Just to name a few differences...

The repops are a stamping. The letters are raised and the coloring is different. The original plates had painted words with stamped "USA-1" lettering. The new plates are aluminum and the originals are a heavy gauge metal.

You can buy the repops anywhere... Ground Up Restoration, Year One, Ebay... Hope this helps.

Repros are fine for me. Going on a period correct racecar so no need to be exactly the same. As long as the wording is the same. Thanks

Yeah......I bet he has a connection with the local jail where they stamp license plates.
