I like my nos license plate frame I found on ebay, from an old dealership in downtown Louisville.

The license plate is a repop but I like it too !

V. V. Cooke was the 'high performance' dealership when I was a teenager in the mid sixties. Couple of guys from my high school had new corvettes and would take them there (2 hour drive) to get their tune-ups.
One fellow was headed to Louisville in his fuelie one day and hit a bridge abutment in the center of the interstate (not surrounded by guard rail back then). Never knew how fast he was going but the newspaper documented the engine block traveled 300 yards after separating from the car. Driver got a memorial book case in the school library with his name on it. Different times back then.
