This is a reproduction of the plates tags used on 1954 Fords.  Similar tags were used on surrounding years, with different patent numbers.  I can modify the design to fit your car.   The originals had a raised border.  My reproduction is FLAT with lines to simulate that border.  The original data was placed in an embossed fashion.  Should you wish, I can emboss your plate with the needed data.  Plate size is about:  4.125 x 2.25 inches (can custom make a plate per your desired size at no additional cost)

The second image is of a later year plate--57 as I recall.  

I am making, on special order, a few with a raised border.  These are very difficult for me to make, and the raised border will not line up exactly with the other features of the plate plus the finished plate will not lay flat.  The hydraulic press which forms the raised border places stresses in the aluminum.  Your hold-down hardware will probably flatten them, but they will be twisted up until that point.  These will include embossing of numbers and letters and my price will be $97.50 plus $4.50 shipping to the US.  Message me to discuss this special service.  I can also get some depth in these plates by high-power laser etching into heavy stainless steel.  That service is $95 plus shipping ($4.50). 

Thanks for looking!
