"USA 1 See America's First" License Plates

[John Brown]

The early plates with the cardboard backing are made of thin steel, not aluminum.

The 69 plates read "Putting You First Keeps Us First" I believe "See America First" is the original 1967 version. Also the post 1969 plates read "Putting You First In A Big Way" if I remember correctly.

Correct! About time I took it out of the display case and hold it...The bright work on the gold was throwing me. Steel for sure. Hasn't moved since that pic was taken.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img]

I think the question is, when did Chevy reissue these plates in solid steel, without the cardboard backing? It has been commented that these steel-only versions were reissued for the 1970 model year, but that would mean the pacers got the 3 year old, cardboard-backed versions. That doesn't seem right. Plus, considering how cautious Chevy was in '69, to go through all the cost and pain in prepping the two actual pacers for safe high-speed usage, but then to put this thin cardboard-backed plate in front? Perhaps the reissue of these plates in steel was actually made for the '69 race (May '69), which by the time these reached dealers it would have been in time for the '70 model year? I'm with BIG on this, I think the steel plate was used on these '69 pacers, unless anyone suggests otherwise.
