Phil
Can you post some vintage track pics?
I do have some flyers/bulletins somewhere showing what I stated earlier,as well as from talking to others about these plates in the past.
What you say does make sense,as the earliest I have found these plates released could've been spring of 67,(INDY 500),to be ready for the 1968 Fall truck release.
Maybe they served a dual purpose then?

Rick,

Here is one of the Pictures that I got from the 67 Pace Car Trust. This one was located by Tony H.

The first documented use that I have found on these plates was on the Pace Car replicas.
Actually there is also a Patch that was found on all the hats used by the Pace Car Crew that was also described as a 1968 item.
My thoughts are in line with other collectors that feel since the Activities that Chevrolet was handling for the Pace Cars were supposed to be the cutting edge at the time, that Chevrolet used a number of things at the 1967 Activities that most originally thought were known as 1968 items.

Here is another shot.

It looks like my picture posting skills are in a need of some help!!

Here is the hat.

I'm also the guy that decided to reproduce these plates!!! No way that they are exact to the originals but they do look very nice hanging under your bumper.

Goofy question maybe, but who's the guy in the red hat and is he the same guy driving the Hurst Olds Pacer in this 1972 event pic...or was the hat passed around or what? .
