55 Fargo Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi all, today a fellow old mopar car guy dropped by for a quick visit and to check my progress to date. He has restored and owned a number of 48 Chryslers, he has even transplanted a 48 New Yorker Convert onto a 48 sedan floor one time, in order to save the car, the car turned out great and is still being driven in Minneapolis. He brought me a gift, which is the Mopar tag, he repros these as well as a number of other items, and he has done a great job with it. I feel fortunate to have Ed nearby as he is a knowledgealbe guy with the old Mopars as well as a generous person. He thought I had made a lot of progress on my car so far, as he saw it from the beginning, he even said my floor weld job was good and he gave me a number of pointers on doing my body work...............Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Fred, that looks really good. I would love to get one for my '38 Chrysler which should have one but was gone when I got the car. Could you let me have some contact info for the person who does the repros as I want a Made in Canada one as I live in Lethbridge, Alberta. Either drop me an email or just post it here. Thanks, Robert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manes Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 It looks great. You are right about Ed--he is very talented! I have purchased several things from him over the last few years to help get my 1948 New Yorker back on the road, and looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55 Fargo Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Robert, if it's the same as the one in the pic, I can probably get you one. They were about $20 to $25 each plus postage of course.............Fred ps these are the only ones he makes at this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55 Fargo Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Here is a pic of a Detroit Plymouth tag, a guy in Sweden has done the repro, he has a few for sale. Not sure of the price, will find out particulars, if anyone is interested. He is a member of the Walter P. Chrysler club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Tom Meshingear Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Here is a quick photo of the plates that I have reproduced The top one is for P18 and later. The second one is for P15 and earlier. The heater tag is for P18 and later. The starter/generator tag are for everything 6 volt (red). I could do the Dodge and Chrysler plates if I had good originals to copy. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
