Dealer USA-1 Plates...

I have one. Rick is correct. That slogan was also used on the boxes of some of my 1969 promo models. (Putting You first In a Big Way) was used on some of the boxes on my 1970 promo models. So both are close. I am sure they had plenty left over from previous years that got on the later cars. Sam

I have the '70 "Putting you first in a big way" also. The only differance is the rear - it is a dark green.

Much of the 69 sales dealer literature also had the tag line "Putting you first keeps us first" so it's definitely 1969 and too early for your car. So, to quote Charley, "can I have it?"

Phil... That is a nice peice! I too have the "putting you first in a big way," plate that I bought from Mr. Sam Scardino. It too has a green back side. Really cool look to display an original plate with an original car. I even bought an NOS pair of "#1 Team" plate frames that makes the plate look even better. I'll get some pictures posted.

I think there was a long thread on this about a year ago.

Jason,

Before I started the thread I Looked but I did not find it. Anyway it is a great topic - I would really like to know all the different plates (that are not reproductions) and are still out there for a few bucks - if you know where to look! Post pictures! If no one gets around to it I will post photos of the '70 plate later today.

I talked about this On Here & Team Chevelle last Winter.
I see some misinformation by some,given out about the years ad slogans recently.
I reposted it HERE

Rick,
I have a couple plates a vendor gave me in recourse to settle a bad deal on something else. He claimed they were legit. I'll get my neighbor to shoot them and I'll email them to you for your opinion. If anyone will know, I know you will...
In fact, I think they were hanging on the wall in the shop the day you picked up the Motion sign.
Maybe you remember?? I know you were pre-occupied with a big pink box sitting outside at the time......
