I decided to honor the history of the car a little bit and make up a Ferris Bros license plate frame. Since they’re from the Midwest I would bet they did dealer emblems at the time but being a California kid (and the concept being a bolt-on) I went for a frame, with the style influenced by so many classic California dealers.
The title blocks are 3D-printed in ABS plastic, then I hand-painted the letters, bonded the blocks to an old frame I had, and then clearcoated the blocks. I decided to leave the black print texture as it both mimicks the texture often found behind vintage license frame letters and showcases how this one was made. And then up close it’s clear that this isn’t original but a modern riff on a classic look.
Pretty happy with the result
