Is this plate real or fake? Saw it on Ebay yesterday as a real NOS plate. I did some reading on the this forum but still not sure. Been looking for one for the Chevelle.

I bought some GM licensed repros off of eBay - they have small printing on the lower edge below the border. That area is also white, like the field.
I took some fine sandpaper and a little solvent and that was gone.
I'm happy, you'd never know it wasn't original.
I think these came out in the 1970s didn't they?

For everyone's education, why?

Can someone actually post up a real one?

I have one on the front of my 65' and as far as I know it's a real one. It has been around the garage for atleast 25 years. I also have one I bought in the mid 90's that is very cheap looking.

Before the stars and stripes plate they had gold letters on a white back ground

mine has a white border around the outside had it for 25 plus years doubt if its a repop. Mike

Ray beat me to it, LMAO:D
If that plate is a real McCoy on ebay it should be olive green on the back of it!

Nice plate collection

I have a for real, original issue, on my 69 SS. The metal is much thicker than a repop and it has a green color on the back. As described in the other responses the paint and lettering are slightly different also, but from 10 ft away who can tell...

I bought this one that is on my car now about 25 years ago from a Champion Auto store.

I believe that one to be real towards the top, these weren't put on til after 72' though. I thought any of the plates with the smaller oval holes were OEM and all of the elongated hole tags were repros. I do know that the taking charge red,white, and blue ones are original for sure and the blue is a metallic reflective type color. Trevor

thats what Im thinking.
