Benefits & Outcomes

Period character you cannot print

Embossed characters, old paint and road wear are in the material. We select plates for color and patina, then cut and arrange them.

Companion to a classic car

Match the state and decade of your car for the garage wall. For registration you still need official state plates.

Sets by state or era

Collectors and themed venues order matched sets spanning states or decades. Ask for a quote on a set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match a specific state and year?β–Ύ

Tell us the state, the decade and any text. We source an authentic plate when one is available and otherwise hand finish a replica in the period colors.

Do you sell prints of vintage plates?β–Ύ

No. Every piece is metal, built from real or replica plates.

Is this suitable for a classic car restoration display?β–Ύ

Yes, as garage or show display art. It is not a street-legal plate.

Can I order a set spanning several states?β–Ύ

Yes. Ask for a quote with the states and decades you want and we will mock up the set.
