Buick35 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'm getting a 1935 Florida license plate for my car and wanted to know how to mount it. It has the tab with the year that slides in at the top. It might be self explanatory after I get it.Any comments appreciated.Thanks,Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72caddy Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Just use a special fastener to secure the tag. If you can find the right size barrel fastener that also requires a special tool all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick35 Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Thanks, what dose the special fastener or barrel fastener look like?Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Here you go. You can get these with torx heads too. Common thieves don’t carry torx tools. You can’t use a key or pocket knife on them (or the Allen heads in the photo.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say whether to agree or not since I'm not into thieving, but have hard time believing they, i.e "common thieves", would have much, if any interest in1935 Florida license plates. 😕 I've had YOM, other "personalized" and standard plates on many of my vintage cars for hundreds of thousands of miles over past 4 decades, but never had any stolen, including an extremely rare pair I’ve been offered ridiculous $$s by plate collectors. Not saying it couldn't happen, but... Edited December 29, 2019 by TTR (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick35 Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 I bought the plate because it's a 1935 Florida one not for anti theft purposes. It's just that for two years (34&35) that Florida tried to design a plate that would make it harder for thieves to steal. If they wanted to they could still reach the nuts that hold it on just not the bolt heads without sliding the cover plate off over the bolts so I can't see where it would work so well.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
