Title: Tasca Ford License plate frame photo
Post by: rjcassling on September 10, 2021, 08:37:46 PM
Not sure if this is the correct subforum.

I haven't had much luck finding an original Tasca Ford License plate holder so far for my 68KR.

So, I am now looking for a photo or news clipping that would show what an original license plate holder would have looked like so I can work on an accurate replica.

I would be awesome if anyone would share a photo.

Thanks  ;D
Bob

Dealerships east of the Mississippi didn't use plate frames as frequently as west coast dealers.

Since there is a Tasca dealer script, you may be looking for a while.

Pete, I wonder why that was?   I have seen vintage trunk scripts from as far west as New Mexico.

Im not saying its a hard rule.

But I see a lot of people asking for plates or scripts and they don't even know if the dealers had them originally?

Thanks Pete,

I have never seen a Tasca license plate frame, but was hoping that someone else had knowledge of them.

There is a fellow that makes license plate frames to your spec
Old School Automotive License Plate Frames
Also does original decals of your choice

Guess like many reproductions he's doing one dimensional stickers/decals and out plastic inserts. Cost of doing a small run of castings like originals is likely not affordable

I would really like a pair from a different dealership that did use frames. Have offered a local owner of a used pair $600 but after 10 years he has not given in yet. The $60 repo ones just fall short to the point that I would rather not put them on a finished car.   Just me
