Ed-D24 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I am restoring a 1948 Dodge D24 and have a firewall plate that is blank (after being cleaned). I want to know what information would be on this plate, so I can recreate it. The upper plate in the photo (not yet attached to the firewall) is the one I would like to put some information on (rather that just being a 'plain' metal plate). The lower plate is the serial number. I actually think that both of these would be black - is that correct? Should I paint these black and then have the engraved serial number on the one plate and 'some information' printed in white or silver on the other plate. Edited February 22, 2020 by Ed-D24 Quote
hansen Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 Looks like this on my late -48 Dodge. Quote
casper50 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 I bought a brand new blank one somewhere but don't remember at the moment where. Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) The top one is the Dodge builders plate, there is no vehicle specific information on that one. It is primarily red as Hansen's photo shows. The Plymouth Doctor makes nice reproductions of them for not much more than it would cost for you to restore one. The circle is the Dodge Brother's emblem, which is kind of intricate. The bottom number is the body number, not the serial number of the car. Mine looks like yours, and I don't recall if/what color they are painted, someone else will have to chime in on that one. Edited February 22, 2020 by Dan Hiebert Typo Quote

46BulldogDodge Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 Check 'hornedata' on eBay. He's in Poland. ~$25-30. Quote
casper50 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 That's where and who I bought mine from. Thanks for the memory jog. Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Posted February 23, 2020 I bought a new reproduction of the red tag for my P15 Plymouth several years ago....the repros are out there somewhere. Quote
Faulkner Posted June 4, 2020 Report Posted June 4, 2020 I searched eBay for "hornedata" as a vendor, and for item number 233499416168... No hits. Has he stopped doing business, or is there another connection to him? Quote
