humber349 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Hi all,I might need a brass General Motors of Canada id plate similar to this one. Does anyone make reproductions or can I get an old one as a sample please? Edited December 7, 2010 by humber349 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Phil.If this is the original plate there must be a way to restor it,don`t you think that the plate has been nickel plated from the beginning.If so nickel plate it and fill the letters and numbers with black paint.

pepcak Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) This is my plate !!! :-) I do not think it was ever plated... One local company is making them here, but its not cheap, could easily be in range of the ebay plate linked by Leif. The main cost is (I believe) in the work of drafter who translates the real thing into computer format. Would someone else be interested it such a plate?
