Selman Chevrolet

I am finishing up a 1968 Z28 that was purchased at Selman Chevrolet in Orange California originally. What i am in need of is the small dealership plate that was scwewed to the rear tail panel back in the day. I had the original but it was lost during the restoration process. Problem is the holes were left in the rear tail panel for it to be reattached. Any help will be compensated for.

If you haven't tried them already, since they're still in business it may be worth contacting them first and see if they happen to have any of the correct era ones still around?.
Make sure to ask about old files/documents too!.

I lived about a mile from Selman before I moved to AZ....there are at the intersection of Tustin Ave and Chapman Ave in Orange.

I don't think I've ever seeen a dealer badge on any of their cars...other than a license plate frame???

Thanks for your help maybe I can track down even a licence plate frame and fill the holes. Any chance you know of an extra plate frame?
