personalized plate ideas
Hey Guys, I just bought a very nice 40 Ford Deluxe Tudor and we are try to come up with a personalized plate. I live in Florida and have gone through their DAV web site trying to find something that's not in use already here. I know there are a lot of people that have done this with a better imaginations then I have, so I'm open to all suggestions.

Re: personalized plate ideas
Personally, I don't think any personalized plate can hold a candle to an original plate for your state the same year as your car.
Here are 9 for sale: http://www.felix2.com/?ss=Florida&yy=1940&tt= Here's one on the Barn: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19101

Re: personalized plate ideas
Here is another one, IDZRVIT. stands for "I deserve it". 0L4TFRD = Old 40 Ford 1st letter would be a zero. Henri's40, anyway you get the idea. If your married maybe something including the car and the mrs. they feel better about the whole car thing if they're included.

Re: personalized plate ideas
I tend to lean towards year of manufacture (YOM) plates on the 1930-40 cars.
If you are really careful about what YOM plate you buy you can come up with some really neat number combinations, in lieu of just the run of the mill numbers. I have a '39 conv with a CA YOM... The CA '39 plates featured the 'Worlds Fair' which was held in S.F.. The state deviated from their normal yellow/black, black/yellow, to blue with yellow numbers.. This was the only time that CA used that color combo until 1973. I found a number that really read well... California plates usually have seven figures, combo of letters/numbers... However, as the numbers increase. i.e. beyond single digit, CA reverted to six figures in '39. Therefore, my '39 plate reads 12M xxx... I have a '40 Buick so I looked for a YOM for it... After looking for several years I found a '40 CA plate.. 12M 000... The problem I have found with personal plates is that they reputedly spell something out, however, the wording usually only means something to the person that dreamed the letter/number combo up. The possibilities are endless, it just takes a lot of thought and planning.

Re: personalized plate ideas
This is what I have on the front of my two unrestored flatheads.
On the first one, the topper is modern, but I have many hours in refining and painting it. On the second one, the topper is an original one, made of steel or iron. MIKE CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE - Twice Last edited by FL&WVMIKE; 08-13-2012 at 01:07 PM. |
