These were on mine when the truck was new. Picture isn't very good, but it's the best I can do. I tossed them when I got the license plates since I refuse to drive a billboard. I wish I had them now though. Says "Yorba Linda" at the top and "Barton's" at the bottom. The paper plate says "Where the price is less and the service is best".

I have that same keep on truckin frame. Been looking for more with no luck

54blackhornet · 06-01-2019, 01:50 PM

This is the same plate and frame from Lynch Cadillac Pontiac GMC as delivered new.

**Smitty** · 06-01-2019, 03:04 PM

The only thing on the truck that wasn't restored!! Maybe in the future.

yuccales · 06-01-2019, 09:41 PM

These were on my first car.

outfield · 06-01-2019, 11:27 PM

Found this on eBay, it's the dealership my '69 was sold through.

**special-K** · 06-02-2019, 06:17 AM

I used to collect these, but let most go. I'll see what I can find and add pictures. When the plastic was coming in and chrome metal going out in the '80s I bought up a bunch still in stock. I had "I'd Rather Be Sailing" on my '71 Suburban I remember.

When I got to CA in the '70s, that is what I noticed. Back East dealers were still sticking, often riveting or screwing, their names on the paint of peoples cars. I thought that was really lousy to do. But in CA they were smarter, they did license plate frames and I really liked that. It seemed everyone had them on their cars. You could tell what part of the big state people were from (in most cases) or at least where the car started out from. Keeping the same plates I thought was a better idea as well.

My truck is from my home town so I think these are pretty cool

A friend of mine gave me a pair of these frames when he moved to California and worked at DE ANZA Chevrolet back in 1964. They have been on the same car ever since, my 1936 Ford Coupe.

My great grandfather was a line mechanic at DeAnza Chevrolet way back in the day. What’s left of it now is an Aamco transmission shop

I’m only about 3 miles away from it. I doubt you will ever sell those but if you do I’d like to be first in line

demian5 · 06-03-2019, 12:09 PM

Kinda vintage...

I have Felix Chevy frames on my 64 impala ss (along with everyone else)...

Thanks for the info on De Anza Scott.

It would be hard to part with them now, but I will keep that in mind.

I had this frame and plate on my 57 Chev (can you guess the year?) I took a corner a bit fast and had my first accident. Totaled my car. it’s long gone except for this plate and frame.

Bummer about the Chevy. The registration sticker is cool!

**GOPAPA** · 06-04-2019, 01:13 PM

I would like to have this one but they want $99 for it on ebay .I bought my new 65 chevy pickup at this dealership

**richard2717** · 06-04-2019, 03:17 PM

25 year Carlisle

**DeadheadNM** · 06-09-2019, 02:57 PM

Here’s one I recently obtained. It’s from the dealer that sold my blazer new in March 1972. Sadly, the frame is not period correct but the plate at least looks as if it could be. I’m still chasing a period correct frame so please keep me in mind if anyone sees an example.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-10-2019, 05:55 AM

I've been looking for Spedding Chevrolet frames for years. I've never saw one. Not even a picture of one. They must be in the realm of "Hens Teeth". LOL

Years ago my daily driver was a 60 Impala that was bought new at De Anza in Riverside. Sorry for the lousy pic but again it was taken long before computers and iPhone's.
