Sonny (and John; good to see you again!)
I put a set of these on my '68 Polara and got them registered on the car.
I've got a lexan cover over them for protection. I topped it all off with a
genuine '68 Texas inspection sticker! In '68, they were on the passenger
side. So, it won't get confused with the "real" (current) one.
Sure conjures up conversation when I park. The younger ones ask "What's
Hemisfair?" and others tell me their stories about attending the fair nearly
35 years ago.
Got some for the '63 Crown. They're white with black letters. Not nearly as
attractive as the even-numbered years.
