I'm wondering whats correct for a 1967 Shelby or mustang? from the dealers
Most dealers had a paper (cardboard) plate with their name or some other Ford ad. West coast dealers seemed to prefer license frames with their names on them while those on the east coast all seemed to have emblems they put on the back with their name.
+1
Mine has the Sepulvada CA trim and the Galpin Ford plastic sheet insert
My 68 KR from Colorado had a emblem on the deck lid, my 68 500 from Pasadena had license plate frame.
A better picture

What is correct? It is just about different in some way for every single dealer.
I think it is fascinating how popular retro dealer license plate frames have become. I would dearly love to find one from Richardson Ford in Albuquerque NM where 6S281 was sold new in Dec 65.
My 67 has a Theodore Robins Costa Mesa license frame.Only have one.Anyone got a spare? :'(

When I bought a new '67 Shelby GT350 at Richardson Ford, in Albuquerque, NM in May of 1967, they
attached a white mylar sticker, on the left side, of the trunk lid. I promptly removed it, using a hair dryer.

To each their own but I am like you and have always removed dealer advertising on my cars. It detracts from the car IMO is why I do it.

Me too, they're not paying me to advertise for them ;-)
