Anyone making new frames? I see that some of the early metal plate frame styles are still available and plate frame company's online allow you to make your own. A good example would be the Chick Iverson plate frames on here. Has anyone thought of making non existent plate frames for their cars? _________________ Think big drive a bus...

I own a dealership and yes, while you can order new frames it's an expensive proposition. The places that make the frames have minimum order quantities. Usually of 100 and the metal ones come at a premium cost now. _________________ Yeah I like Herbie AND New Beetles. Got a problem with it? Tough.

Haven't scored frames in awhile been busy scoring wheels but my buddies dad came up on these and now they are in my collection...all 5 frames are New Old Stock NEVER been on a vw ever The Victorville Victoria Frame is the rarest of the victoria frames these were a 1 year frame from the early 70's before they ended selling vw's from that dealership so now my Victorville Victoria Motor's collection is now complete finally and it only took 7 year's to do it
Everette you need to ad this pic of my victoria motors frame because it's different than the other 2 already posted

I'm going to ask a potentially silly question. Do most people search for plate frames from the dealer the car was originally purchased from, or a local dealership? I'm in PA but my car was purchased from Gateway VW in Portland, OR. Any opinions on what I should be looking for? Would a PA tag look foolish wrapped in a frame from Oregon? |

If it's from the dealer your car came from, it wouldn't look silly at all.
I had a 91 T-bird that came from Colorado that I kept one of the original dealer frames (still metal) on my PA plate. _________________ Yeah I like Herbie AND New Beetles. Got a problem with it? Tough.

People do both.
Some people will also run a plate frame if it happens to have their name on it.
I'm running Arizona plates under a Gateway VW frame right now... the plate frame came on the Bus and supposedly original.

This is the original frame I was trying to replicate. It was $200 plus shipping.
This is the one I got from this guy:
$18.50 frame
$6.00 shipping
$24.50 total includes setup.
Paypal or credit card from

Not perfect, but at 10% of the cost, it'll do. |

Has anyone seen one of these frames recently? I found a picture of one one another thread. I was just wondering how rare it was (and how much I'm going to end up paying for one). My '67 is from this dealership and I would think it would be cool to have one. Thanks! |

Does anyone have a Younce VW license plate frame they'd be willing to part with?
I will buy, or I have a frame from White's VW in Asheville, NC I would trade.
Thank you! _________________ Dalton

I just missed out on this one on eBay? Did someone on here buy it? If so I'll buy it plus a finders fee.
I finally received my current one that I'm going to have restored It's datecoded in '78.
I have a Bill Gray Pittsburgh one as well I would possibly trade
