KS 1965 Protecto-Plate / Warranty Booklet

[Ironhorse]

PRICE REDUCED-$15 SHIPPED

Recently acquired this and having never seen such an early example I had to Google it. 1965 is the very first year that GM used the metal plate, previously was just a printed paper warranty. Very hard to find and unique piece for a first year item.

A few items I've learned about this Protecto-plate. Truck was originally delivered to Pierson Chevrolet in Dewey Co, Taloga, Okla. on Nov. 17, 64. Was the 19,107th truck built for 1965 at St. Louis, 283 engine and 3.73 rear axle. Paint code 544 is red I believe. Kinda guessing here, not really great at deciphering these plate codes

Some water stains on cover, writing on back shows windshield was cracked July 25th ('65 ?) since was delivered in 64? Two Delco battery warranty slips intact. Warranty of 24 months or 24,000 miles.

A cool early Protecto-plate for your 65 truck glove box and dash at the local car/truck show. $15 shipped to your door, money order, do not have Paypal.

Those have the Vin numbers of the truck they came with and they are cool. Just the vin will not match the buyers truck. Just I guess that is why there are no bites. Pretty Cool none the less

Yeah, they are peculiar to the individual truck the booklet came with but being it is the first year for the metal plate from GM and a cool bit of nostalgia for vintage trucks, thought maybe some one would like to have such for a display piece at car shows or cars and coffee meets.

I have an original '71 Chevrolet sale brochure I set on the dash of my '71 4x4 when at car/truck shows. Cool piece with the options one could order back in the day these trucks were new. Would like to find a '71 Protect-o-Plate booklet some time for display along side the brochure.
