Does anyone know where I can buy this specific font 70 plate? I haven’t found a source with this “9”.
Thanks!

Not the best photo. I have one on the front of my red 70. I have had it probably over 30 years. I have no idea where I bought it from. I want to say it may have been from Year One back when they were the go to source for everything.

May be someone will have one laying around the garage. I see the suppliers now don't have the old style with the trailing 9.
Start a Parts wanted thread.
 
Classic Industries has a different font too, but much less expensive than the ebay pirates.

I have a “1970” plate on one of my Challengers. Never paid much attention to the styling of the numbers, but I just looked and it has that style 9. I bought it ages ago, 20-25 years back probably. I likely got it from Year One or from a vendor at a swap meet.

I’m just trying not to have to buy the car to get one

I probably should have looked harder at Carlisle …

After 28 years of pleasureful ownership, my convertible won't be for sale until my estate is selling it!
However, I just looked at a picture of my '71 I've tried to sell off and on for a number or years, and it has the same style 9 as the 70 plate in question also. I likely bought the '71 plate 14 or 15 years ago.
It looks like the 9 has been changed on those too. I wonder why the repro parts vendors changed the styling presumably within the last 15 years?

I did a quick online search of promotional pictures of '70 Dodges and they had a different style plate. Is this silver plate a repro of an actual Dodge promotional era plate? And if so, how was the 9 styled on the OEM promotional year plates?

Congrats on 28 years of happiness. Match made in heaven apparently. Pics please

I’ve learned through the guys here these have been around that long. Makes the hunt a bit more fun tho. Your ‘71 is gorgeous!

The picture I posted is a car I know. Its owner isn’t available to ask but knowing he’s purist I’d assume it’s as vintage as they came.
