Question Any ideas on "Built expressly for" plaque positioning?

I just received my newly engraved "Built expressly for" plaque, which I ordered to honor the original owner and grandfather of the family I bought my California Black Plate '64 from. What I need to know is, was there ever a specific location where the plaques were supposed to be fixed?

Thanks again

Keith

PS - Thanks to all the ROA members who help me locate the blank plaques. You are all Princes among men!

For '65, it's centered below the A/C control unit.

Re: Any ideas on "Built expressly for" plaque positioning?

Here are some pictures I've collected.

Does anyone have a scan of the plaque order form? Was there suggested positioning in there?

Mine is around 0.5in above the ashtray door on the center console below the HVAC panel on my '64.

I have a copy of the "Personalized Identification Plate Order" form. I will try to scan and post tomorrow.

In the picture on the form it shows what I think is a '63. In it, the plaque is displayed in the space below the ash tray door. (See ZombieWoof's photo)

For '65, I've only see it centered below the A/C controls.

I had an original order form from Buick Motor Division and sent it in about three years ago with the information filled out - never got a reply ??? Still waiting ................................
