Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get a reproduction data plate for a 1948 Ford sedan. I tried A G Backeast but they couldn't help. Apparently my data plate is very odd.

Thanks

That's the one I'm talking about but mine is different. It has the assembly plant code stamped in the upper right corner.

48superd, My late 47 has the same type of data plate as yours. Mine has TC stamped in the upper right corner. I'm looking for a replacement too.

The re-pop plates don't have the space for the assembly plant. Your TC is "Twin Citiy" or the Minneapolis plant. My 48 Woodie has got LB for Long Beach. Frankly, I'd keep the original plate with the assembly plant location.

I'd like to use the old one but it is in bad shape. Looks bad on a freshly painted firewall. Still looking for a correct reproduction plate.
