They can be found on Ebay...though the style that you need is a later verson.

I have 3 of the earlier version. The look like this...

Xplantdad....Do you own a car from that dealership? I wish you would sell me them if you don't LOL. The pic I submitted is from a 1970 Chevrolet Station Wagon that ended up going overseas a couple years ago. I have done searches on ebay for the last 4 years and they dont seem pop up for me. What is the search title you use to find these. I have used license plate frames and millions of newer undesirable pages of useless new frames pop up. I have been collecting dealership emblems for some time and if someone from this site has a car from there I will surely oblige if I have it. Thanks for the info as I will keep looking.

Yep.

My brother does... Click here!

Since I got them from ebay for him (and they are a Christmas present) I don't know that he'll want to give them up (One I found on Ebay is already on his car).

I am going to SoCal this coming weekend for Christmas. I'm going to check a few of the antique shops in Fullerton and a couple of junkyards, too! I'll see what I can come up with.

I'll let you know...

Thanks Bruce .....I would appreciate that. I would be willing to accept any plate frames of any 60s-80s era from CONE if you found any. Do you by any chance have the sellers ebay ID as they usally sell more of them? Are you from the Phoenix area as I thought I saw some pics of the Pavillions you submitted. I lived in Phoenix for 12 years and also purchased my L78 Nova in Glendale AZ. My car was raised in Fullerton and the Anaheim CA area. I was able to trace the original owner and found out the car sold new at Cone in Fullerton and was traded in at Cone Bros in Anaheim. I believe the 2 dealers had to be related. Here is a pic of a old Cone Bros plate frame.

Here is a Cone Chevrolet license plate frame I had made for me.

Kim,
Are you the same L78 Nova owner that posted this cool info below on the NCRS site?.

"...Cone Bros. had ties to Drag racing heavy in the 60s and early 70s and sponsored cars of the era such as Hayden Profitts 62 Z11 Impala.
Also had ties to Bill Thomas race cars of Anaheim CA. Nickey Chevrolet fame.
The Owner of Cone also was a board member at the Orange County International raceway.
My 70 Nova L78 came from this dealer. I also would like to know if they were related to Cone Bros Chevrolet in Anaheim..."

Hi Pete...Yes I was the one who had submitted that data. I made a mistake and it should be Cone Chevrolet Fullerton and not Cone Bros Anaheim. The story I added is true but I had the wrong Cone. I have one plate ring but would like to have a second as CA. dealers had a habit of mounting them on front and rear.
