In Search Of Belton High School
« on: April 30, 2021, 03:14:45 PM »
I have a 1970 Mach1 that I bought in the fall of 1983 in Schenectady New York. It was originally sold at John Stepp Friendly Ford in Anchorage AK. There is a parking permit sticker in the back window for a Belton High School. I have never removed the sticker as it is part the cars past history and I always felt it would possibly be a connection to a previous owner. Since I added rear window louvers to the car in the 80's you don't even know its there unless you are cleaning the back window. Just wondering if anyone else recognizes this sticker? I have done some online searches over the years and found there is a school in Belton Texas and one in Belton Missouri but I have not found a picture of an old parking sticker to confirm which school it was at.

Seems unlikely but Belton is a major city in Texas on I-35 in between Dallas and Austin.

Belton MO is a smaller outlying suburb of Kansas City. I am going to a cruise night there tomorrow. A quick search shows that the High School uses parking permits now but don't know if they resemble the one in the picture from the past.
