Dealer USA-1 Plates...

Just found this one! Heavy embossed metal. Rick Peters says it is a 69 to early 70 plate. How many of you guys have these?

Anyone know how many varients were produced??

I have one. Rick is correct. That slogan was also used on the boxes of some of my 1969 promo models. (Putting You first In a Big Way) was used on some of the boxes on my 1970 promo models. So both are close. I am sure they had plenty left over from previous years that got on the later cars. Sam

I have the '70 "Putting you first in a big way" also. The only differance is the rear - it is a dark green.

Much of the 69 sales dealer literature also had the tag line "Putting you first keeps us first" so it's definitely 1969 and too early for your car. So, to quote Charley, "can I have it?"

Phil... That is a nice peice! I too have the "putting you first in a big way," plate that I bought from Mr. Sam Scardino. It too has a green back side. Really cool look to display an original plate with an original car. I even bought an NOS pair of "#1 Team" plate frames that makes the plate look even better. I'll get some pictures posted.

I think there was a long thread on this about a year ago.

Jason,

Before I started the thread I Looked but I did not find it. Anyway it is a great topic - I would really like to know all the different plates (that are not reproductions) and are still out there for a few bucks - if you know where to look! Post pictures! If no one gets around to it I will post photos of the '70 plate later today.

There's a bunch of great info on this site, like you didn't already know that.

I have one! It was on the 69 427 Camaro when I bought it from its 2nd owner from Ohio! Hangs on my wall in the shop.
