Dealer USA-1 Plates...

[camarojoe]

They were used beyond 69... at least through 1970, and many dealers probably bolted them to the front of new cars even after that.

Probably depended on how many were laying around and what Dealerships got the "NEW" Chevy slogans first.

Here is the late 70 for the '71 year plate... This is an original.

Here is a modern REPOP of that plate.. except they modified the slogan a bit. to "See the USA" Bow tie at the top is close.

Each dealer seemed to have personalized the USA-1 plate.

The Wagoner uses brighter colors and is embossed.

The Clark plate is non embossed and darker in color. Both of these are originals.

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

There's a bunch of great info on this site, like you didn't already know that.

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......

Hmmm...could it be a copy of the My Classic Car episode of the Motion Cars owned by Mr. Mc Michael on DVD? I like the 5 o'clock in the morning rushed printing...sheesh! What was I thinking?

I have one! It was on the 69 427 Camaro when I bought it from its 2nd owner from Ohio! Hangs on my wall in the shop.
