Re: Bear Chevrolet
I just wanted to bring this post to the top to see if anyone had add'l info on Baher Chevy. Just bought a '69 RS/SS project, nothing special (350/350 car), but it's got both original license plate frames from Baher Chevrolet and I thought people might be interested to check them out. Will post a pic when I can get back to the garage, in a week or so-

Re: Bear Chevrolet
Here's a pic I shot of the rear license frame. It needs to be repainted, inserts are/were an off-white color. Belair, PM me...front frame has been whacked and might be more trouble to fix than it's worth-

Re: Bear Chevrolet
You lucky Bast...!! Orville where are you at!!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I frequently see a lot of native Cali cars that still retain their original plate frames. This has got to do with the fact that the plates stayed with the car if it stayed in the state. I guess if you never remove the plate why remove the plate frame right? Try and find a plate frame from a Chi-town dealer still with the car!

Re: Bear Chevrolet
Exactly! All of my "cool" cars came from the greater LA area and have their original dealer license frames. This is pretty rare, though, even out here...finding a car that's been in CA its whole life isn't too common anymore...the guys from "back east" have really picked a lot of the cars from the area and taken them out of state. You lose the original black license plates for good once the car's registered out of state...really sucks! The black plates do look sweet on the '69!

Re: Bear Chevrolet
Wasn't Baher Chevrolet at one time Dana Chevrolet where Dale Armstrong and Dick Gulstrand worked? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
