Check the letters on the license plate; other than the large numbers, the rest are unreadable but lead you to assume the plate correctly identifies the state and its tag line.  Reminds me of the reproduction Buick hub caps that apparently weren't licensed so the indented letters didn't actually spell Buick but from a distance appeared correct.

Thanks for sharing this interesting photo @MetroPetro  Googling Buick Bear Cat brought up some interesting info, both about the car and the owner driver, Cockeye Brown from Kansas City.     https://kansasracinghistory.com/WWBrown.htm

So it appears that the Buick Bear Cat preceded the Stutz Bear Cat by at least 1-2 years. Anybody know anymore on this?

I would have made the technician rotate that LF tire 180* on the rim and re-balance...

That is what I often do, even on new tires for our modern vehicles -

some shops won't take the time !

Modern tires and wheels make it much easier for the technician to minimize the amount of external weight needed, so there's really no excuse for that 3 oz lump of lead...
