The Ford Barn

Ron/IA · 12-30-2010, 11:17 AM

A fellow club member is looking for a license plate ring to put on his modern car that reads - "I'd Rather Be Driving My Model A", or "My Other Car Is A Model A Ford". Something that will refer to a Model A while he is driving his modern car.

He stated they use to be available, but has not had any success finding one today. He has searched many vendors sites, and has made several phone call inquiries. Some have replied they remember said rings, but didn't have them available today. Not to say there are not rings available today, there are; they just don't have the saying he is looking for.

I was wondering if anyone on Ford Barn would know of a source for these rings with the above sayings? Or, is there a custom manufacturer that would put the wording of your choice on a ring?

Hey there is many places that make custom licence plate frames. Im up in Edmonton Canada and their is a place called Hotplates west edmonton mall check them out they will do mail orders. I have had lots of work done there and recomend them. also you can try a local decal shop or sign shop. I had hot plates make a sign for the front of my ford F-150 and it looks great

I put one of the generic "1931 Model A Ford" license plate frames on the '62 Ford and a "1962 Ford Galaxie" tag frame on the Model A. It got lots of comments and opened the door to many informative conversations.

Thank you Ryan and Clyde; the info was very helpful and has been forwarded to my fellow club member.

Luke, I can imagine what comments are made, and questions asked about the "other" car. What a unique way to put attention to each.
