Hi,
Do you supply data plates?

by **Hunderwood** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 2:46 pm

I have some plates. I notice you have a 151a2 and I do have those plates is stock.
If that is not the plate, what are you looking for?

Regards
Henry

Hi Henry,
is it generic? Or manufacturer specific? I need AMG, and the 2 other data plates.

I only have the description plate and I would have to say it is Generic. I do not have the other 2 plates at this time.
If you would like to get a Set from another source so they would match, then I could Stamp the information for you with the Inspection stamp.
Regards
Henry

You DO have the inspection stamp? I have a replacement plate for my A1 that I never had stamped because I never found anyone that could do the inspection stamp.

Can you do the M151? I've got a 1960 with a 1964 data plate. Sounds screwy but it's titled as a 1964. I'd like to get a better 1964, straight M151 data plate.

I have the plate you need. You can send me your old plate and I can duplicate or just the information you want on your plate. Send the info and $25 Money Order to:

Fellas, I used to be involved with the NCRS (National Corvette Restorer's Society) with my '61 Vette. I took the car to many meets and had it judged and I also wound up doing some judging myself. That club is definitely "over the top" when it comes to judging originality and authenticity. In fact, it eventually drove me nuts and I stopped participating with the club. But I learned a few things during those years and a few things rubbed off.

I can tell you with reasonable certainty that, as the years go by, if you have a fairly original jeep with a fairly presentable original data plate on it, that may very well wind up being something you want to keep intact and not alter too much. We never know where this hobby will wind up, but as the years go by, it seems like more and more originality is disappearing from the scene with these jeeps. It's harder and harder to find one that hasn't been Bubba-ed up or turned into a hunting vehicle. As such, I happen to believe that your vehcile will retain it's value and appreciate more if you try to maintain a level of originality, including any history you have on the jeep and/or it's data plates.

If you already have an original data plate, I think it would be a good idea to keep it that way and not have it restamped or altered. They are what they are. Even if they do not contain an inspection date, for example, this doesn't necessarily mean anything other than someone neglected to stamp it that day before they released it. As with the NCRS, a lot of information about original stamps and stamping procedures may not even have surfaced yet. The NCRS is still discovering things about engine stampings, for example, that disprove earlier judging theories that "this car is a restamp." Photographs of original stampings have shown up that indicate upside down numbers and missing letters, for example, or complete omissions of some of the information.

So, the point I'm making is, I think it might be a good idea to think twice about having an original matching data plate altered or restamped to "make it" Marine Corps or whatever.

I'd leave the original alone and you can always get ahold of one of the many brand new reproduction data plates that are out there and have that one stamped up to your heart's desire, if that's what you're looking for. They're available just about everywhere by the dozens (TNJ Murray, eBay, etc.)

What some guys do is take their original data plate and place it behind the brand new reproduction, then screw them both on. The new one covers the old one and protects it and it looks all brandy new. Or, just keep the old original with your title and display the new repro... nobody but us old fools will know the difference other than the fact that it looks WAY too new and unscathed to be original.

Just some thoughts before you go sending off your original to make it "right" by having extra things stamped on it.

Having your original data plate on an MB has always been the rule of thumb, even if it is sun faded out. If you wanted a replacement just so it looks nicer, I agree with Bob that you definitely want to keep your old one in a safe place.

As for other nomenclature plates, if they are simply NOS, I would replace them without skipping a heart beat.
