Are the re-popped P-O-P's distinguishable from originals ??? I hope so...

We live in a society which maintains the technology and ability to clone animals and human embryos. Do you still wonder if indistinguishable protecto plate clones are a reality?

I would hope there is a sharp eye out there that can tell a real from a fake...otherwise there is no real value to a POP right ? There are fake build sheets,cowl tags and POP's.....fonts,spacing,codes or something.

There is faux everything in the market place.

For instance; an LS6 Chevelle rag top, that started life asa 6 clyinder Pontiac Lemans hardtop. It has all of the paperwork; Even two Build sheets, protecto plate and yes all numbers match.

It has everything but a chain of ownership documenting the car!

If a complete car can be cloned and pass the scrutiny of National Show Judges, then certainly a protecto plate can be fauxed 100%

The POP was attached to the warranty book by the plant. They couldn't depend on all the dealers to do that.

Kurt,
You are correct, the protecto plates were glued to the warranty booklets by GM not the dealers. This is what I was trying to state, in my ramblings. Sorry for the confusion.
