chrome license plate frames
« on: September 18, 2021, 10:51:12 AM »
The original '54 Michigan license plate on my car is 13 5/8" x 6".  Standard plates are 12" x 6".  Couldn't find a source for an odd size license plate.  Bought a set of plastic chrome door edge guards for $4,  notched them where I wanted them to bend around the corners of the plate, cut to length, and voila--a chrome license plate frame for my oversized plates.  You probably know all this already but I was quite surprised.  Really dressed up a raw edge.  Hope this helps someone with an odd sized license plate.

THello Retroguy,
here is an adjustable chrome Frame that is made for the larger 1950"s year of Manufacture plates. I have used them several times .They were an accessory available for the 1955 Chevrolet and is still sold as a reproduction. I have included the E bay Link.
