Did anyone ever make a Tiger license plate frame with "Carrol Shelby Motors" on the bottom? They are made for Cobras and Shelbys like that.

If not, besides the CAT frame, are there any other options out there?
 
You can always try and find the frame from the dealer that sold your car. I did that with my GT350 - took me almost 18 years. haha
 
Here ya go

This is an original plate frame from a Sunbeam dealer in California just outside of camp Pendleton. I now have a non Chrysler Tiger so it doesn't really fit.

I personally do not advertise for dealerships for free. When I buy a new car, I tell them to take all of their dealer decal/badges off the car. Or to pay me a monthly fee and I will allow them to leave them. To date, all have been removed. :cool:
 
Oh yeah

On the one new car I got myself and the 3 that the Mrs has had all the crappy plastic ones have gone to the round file. This is a different cup of Joe, as vintage is the question and IMHO I think the club would sell a pile of Hollywood sports car frames and I sure would buy one. I like my vintage one but my boot lid is drilled in the lower holes. Sure I could get a CAT plate bracket or one made by a hobby vendor and use my vintage one but I don't have a cheaply made Chrysler car:):):)

Oh and CAT 6 dollars for two plate frames is a killer deal and the orange goes with the black car quite well.

Not to mention a original paint MK2 was at Big Bear United with a dealer emblem on the boot lid in Colorado I think and it was cool.

I agree with Warren - but as they say to each their own.

I totally agree with you Duke, as I have told car dealers the same. The dealer of all my cars have been told to take the sticker off before taking delivery. I do concede to let them put on the plastic dealer frames which get removed 30 minutes later.

I have researched my Tiger's history back 4 owners, (talked to 3) and have the classified ad for each sale, so I just think the original dealer license frame is a nice addition in case I mount it or not.
 
Well luckily the dealer that sold my GT350 burned down in 1967 and on my Tiger is a Hollywood Sport Cars frame. Pretty sure they are gone too. :)
 
Now on my other two Fords, I would put a "my other car is a Sunbeam Tiger" frame. Anyone make them?
 
Oh my

Getting a little chit chatty on the thread, :)

Thanks for that link was thinking I needed a pair of Tiger Boxers as well as a a plate Tiger plate frame for the Si...

Funny T shirt story..

So I get pulled into a sobriety check and the female copper looks at my CAT T shirt and says, " I did not know you could legally own a Tiger" as she handled her utility belt buckle.

Not wanting to go to secondary I casually replied , you can if they are a car it's a car club T shirt. I was 2 blocks away from cruising Grand in Escondido Ca.

I wonder how she would have acted if I was driving one of the early Ford's that had a trench broom with a rotary clip like I saw at the show.Bng Oh it's a replica :cool:
 
The only guy to get off track was the t shirt guy, oh, wait, that was you. haha
I like the old metal frames, dealers now a days use a cheap plastic one with silk screened letters. Some of the older ones were a work of art.
