Interesting Color Combo
« on: July 21, 2015, 11:38:28 PM »
Sunlight Yellow with red interior.  Data-plate looks a little funny but has the original owner's card:

Unusual combo, not bad tho. Maybe it was an Oscar-Meyer corporate vehicle?  ;D

Unusual combo but it works, looks like a straight lookin' car, confident that's not the original VIN plate and neither are the rivets.

Might be something someone created to get attention. Seen this allot in other makes and models (model T's and A's for example)

Have seen some originally order blue and red combinations in the past though  :o

If not interesting combo

VIN plate looks legit, has one of those overlay decals.

 I've seen quite a few vintage imports sporting red interiors with predominately blue exteriors. I have seen them with yellow and even green body colors as well.

Weird. I never even knew a decal was available.  I'm guessing the availability of Kevin Marti's data plates made those decals obsolete?

The rivets look like they came from my "rivet stash". There may have had a sale at the local hardware store.

Have to agree since the owners card information matches

 I'm finding this thread very riveting. (sorry I had to)  What should the proper rivets, on that particular car, look like? Do you think the plate was removed for paint work then reattached?

Gentlemen,
If you are restoring a car that doesn't have a door tag, what's the best source to get one that looks correct?
I've seen Virginia Mustang makes replacement data plates as well as correct style rivets, but I haven't seem them or know if they pass muster.
