Re: U-S-A-1 plate
Wow, there's a big difference. $202.50 for a repop plate, I would be pissed.

Re: U-S-A-1 plate
Just turn it over and look for the green, or pick it up and you can sure tell.

Re: U-S-A-1 plate
This was sold by Jim Rohn, who frequents the boards here. Maybe he can chime in...

Re: U-S-A-1 plate
I communicated this thread to Jim Rohn of Phoenix and the following was his response........
"this was bought at Courtesy Chevrolet in Phoenix in 1977, the 1st year I moved here Tim Blaylock (sp?) was the parts guy I bought it from, I think he is at Thorobred Chevrolet now They had two types, the "disco" stars and stripes and this one I bought both both were shrink wrapped and both I still have (well, just the stars&stripes now) I have had a slew of "do-gooders" telling me their opinions some of the earlier versions I understand (from the do-gooders) were metal with a painted back (either white, green or blue, depends on who the "expert" is) and would rust when they got chips on the face All of what I listed is factual as this was sold at a GM dealership 30 years ago. Any other intrepretation/opinions of the facts are just that." Jim Rohn says he bought THE EBAY plate in question in 1977. I have no interest in any of this, other than my wanting to verify the honesty or integrity of the seller. Thanks,
