Wow Rick what does the plate frame look like?! I have been searching high & low for one and have never seen one! Did he say what vintage it was from? I would give my right eye for one of those! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Frank, Did you get a copy of that inter office letter I have from Ford when they sent two spies to Nickey and Grand Spaulding to decide if they could set up a similar dealership program? If not, let me know.

I understand that is is not that unusual to see these around Chicago at flea markets, as I understand many were handed out at sporting events. They must be kind of rare today, (in good condition) as I have been looking for sometime in Ohio and PA and have found none-outside of the display at SCR.

Next time you see them for 1$ Buy them all!. Then please sell them to me - Hell I will even let you make some money on em, Because I know I will...
