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!

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...
