Where to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

That's "Where" to buy...I need to fire my proof reader and typist.

I'm not sure what you'd call these...to me, the sort of item the car might have had in its front plate holder on the showroom floor?

Anyway, I'd like to find one for an '88, if they are available. I was hoping these were reproduced? I've poked around the web, and don't find any for sale. Any ideas?

A few examples...

Wouldn't it be specific for each dealership :huh:

Re: Were to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

Some are...but these examples are generic PONTIAC or TRANS AM items. No dealer name on them. I'm sure they were promotional material made available to Pontiac dealers by GM, just like sales brochures, displays, banners, etc.

I'm hoping someone is reproducing them. Finding a good original is going to be difficult, I would think.

Sorta. I saw several of that type, just generic PONTIAC. But I sort of liked the ones in the pictures...PONTIAC EXCITEMENT, or TRANS AM, with model year. Something specific to our cars. And I have not seen any of that type for sale.

Maybe take your idea of what you want it to look like to a print screen shop and have them run them off for you. Just an idea.

I googled "Pontiac Front License Plate" and a whole array of them comes up.:thumbsup:

Re: Were to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

They are called "Dealer Booster Tags" for not just dealer names but specific model tag lines like "Pontiac, We build Excitement" and the like and made of plastic.
I still have mine in a folder somewhere with other stuff.

Thanks guys!

I guess when I'm interviewing for a new spell checkers and typist, I'll add "ability to perform internet searches" to the job requirements list. :D

Re: Were to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

That's my car :)

I saw it (the plate) on ebay years ago and had to grab it...

Re: Were to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

I have the period "We Build Excitement" license plates in black and white, but nothing that is year-specific except for a really long 1988 wall banner.

You can get them in Aluminum or Plastic

He has some for a 1990. Just get a '90, or ask him if he can get ones for '88.

Re: Were to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

Ask anyone who prints plastic plates, they'll print custom ones for you. Just search GOOGLE images for the one you want and send it to them.

And don't worry about longetivity if it's for the front of a show car kept in the garage. It'll last a long time.

Re: Were to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

That's not bad, but I'd lke to find an original if I can.

I saw that. I just sent him a note to see if he has an '88.

Thanks for confirming that. I was hoping there were repros, but it's not looking that way.

I'm afraid that GM makes it difficult, and expensive, to reproduce anything with one of their logos on it.

Re: Were to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

Here's what the 1988 one looks like (not mine).

Re: Were to buy dealer showroom front plate?
 

I had seen an '87, '89, '90 and a '92 I think. But no '88. Thanks!
