USA-1 license tag
 
Anybody out there with a parts truck that possibly has an old USA-1 tag on the front of it? I am wanting one for my '71 and for my Chevelle. Looking for any style of tags. Thanks Trevor

yeah, I know about the reproduction one, but I am looking for original ones that say something towards the bottom, and they are a little bit heavier weight. They don't have to be in mint shape though, looking for any leads on some used ones. Thanks for the link though. Trevor

Hey Trevor, the true early originals are hard to find. They are on Ebay fairly often, but they aren't cheap. They made a different version of the USA-1 plates starting in 67 I believe, they changed slighty in design and wording every year up untill 72.

Thanks Ray, I knew they were pretty hard to come by, most threw them away to put another tag on. I also know that they are worth a ton if they are in really good shape to Muscle Car collectors. I am trying to find some that are in half way decent shape to dented up ones. Trevor

Like this one?
I had this on my '71 Chevelle SS in 1980,...

I still have it.
It's probably what you call "reproduction".
PM me if you are interested.

Re: USA-1 license tag
 
lowlife, I am looking more for ones that say slogans below the usa-1, or any of the gold lettered usa-1's as well. The gold lettered ones are the ones that would be correct for our year trucks and my chevelle. Yours is in really good shape, and probably not a repop, but it is the later style tag for like 75-87 ish gm vehicles. Trevor

I've got one on my beater that we pulled off of a junker a while back.

teeitup just posted a truck that he's parting out with one on the front that's a bit tweaked. I had thought about seeing if he'd sell it to me, but I don't really need it.:lol:

I meant to post a link, but there was one on Ebay last night that was still at a decent price. It had gold lettering and fairly straight (only missing a little paint).

Search USA plate, just don't buy the dinner plates. :D

Randy, I don't blame you one bit. I think the worn in tags look the best especially on a truck. Let's you know where that truck has been and the miles it's seen. Trevor

Re: USA-1 license tag
 
Trevor, FYI you can tell an original versus a repro by the screw hole slots. The originals have a small opening like the one Randy has, the repro ones have a larger opening roughly 3/4 inch in length.
