Guest 48Ragtop Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm looking to install a 1948 Connecticut license plate on my car. My car is a 48 Cadillac and the brackets on the car really need a backer plate to support the license plate adequately. The plate measures approximately 9.125" x 5.875" and is too small for any conventional backer plate that I've seen. Does anyone know of a source for small backer plates to accommodate a plate of this size? Other suggestions appreciated as well.Thanks, Ed Wisniewski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 In 1948, or the fifties, you would have made your own by cutting out a piece of Masonite. I remember a do it yourself article on this very subject. Popular Mechanics, how to straighten your bent license plate and prevent it from being bent again, by making a Masonite backer board.
