I actually bought matching pairs of Manufacturers plates for my 73. These were issue to Ford Motor Company in 1973 and were on any vehicles that the engineers or test personnel took out on the road. Just thought it would be different. One set was taken from Ford by an engineer the other I do not know.
as in the past I like to have a period correct plate on my cars. In the case of my '72 Georgia did not issue plates between, I think, 1971 and 1975. So a '72 got a '71 plate with a '72 sticker on it as seen in this picture (72 is hard to see on the blowup). If anyone is in need I have a few NOS '75 stickers you can have.
Picked this one up some 25 years ago on an original owner '71 Grande. Peeled back the pile of stickers to reveal the original. Need to register the plate with the state so I can use it on the roads.
OLE PONY, my user name too. At first I had normal state plates then changed over to antique plates. No annual fee for the antique plates here in Virginia.
Picture this ........................................
1. Australian stock standard plates are a letterbox shape compared to American plates being more squared shape.
2. I live in a Australian State called Queensland.
3. The Queensland State Government has allowed the use of personalized number plates for private vehicle ownership.
4. So you can choose to order a personal plate based on the stock traditional Australian letterbox shape, or order a plate based on the American traditional
square shaped design.
5. I chose the American shape design, and went for my birth name initials followed by my year birth date. That personalized plate cost me $480.00 Australian Dollars to purchase. You also get to choose what color scheme you want. I went for gold on black to match my Gold Mustang.
