Expert 5K+ Posts: 7207 Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | This was on the Saratoga when I bought it. Not the original dealer, which was Holt Motor Company in Van Nuys, so I'm not sure how old this one, Keyes Motors in Van Nuys is. Keyes Motors was established in 1952 and is still extant. http://www.keyescars.com/ I'm going to send them an Email and see if they know what era the frame is from. I have both of the black plates, this one is from the front, the rear one is in better shape but the decal area is scraped up.

Elite Veteran Posts: 990 | Does anyone have either a dealer emblem or a license plate frame for Massey Motors in Jacksonville, FL or for any Massey dealership. Massey dealerships were all throughout Florida, usually with another name, such as 'Massey-Mingledorf', or 'Massey-Yardley', or 'Massey-Mixon', and so on. | ||

I had it removed when I repainted the car many years ago (foolishly). I can not recall where it was/should be mounted. Does it go on the trunk lid or below the lid on the lower half of the rear?

Elite Veteran Posts: 608 Location: Madison, Wisconsin | I found an old photo of my car that shows the original location of the dealer tag! Which leads to a question. The original location of the dealer tag on my 1956 Dodge was the left side of the trunk lid. The right side has the "dodge" script. I took a look at the back of the trunk last night and see no way of getting to the back of the script pins due to structure panels on the back of the lid. How was this done? Did they have some sort of expanding pin thing (kind of like a dry wall anchor)? Any help / opinions appreciated. (56dodge.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 56dodge.jpg (95KB - 357 downloads) | ||

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Wow, Greg; glad you can see your dealer nameplate's location in that photo. The dealership's service department wouldn't have spent a lot of time precisely locating that nameplate; just wanted to make sure that it was put on straight. There are female push-in clips that will hold the nameplate to the trunk. You want a gutenteit fit of that clip into the trunk, but the nameplate probably should have a loose fit into the clip. You can apply some super-glue (or, maybe flexible 'weatherstrip' glue) to the nameplate's fingers, so that it will stick into the clip, but not so much that the nameplate couldn't be pried away/off of the clips, should you or some other owner need to remove it, for repairs and/or re-painting, in the future. Also, if the nameplate is only 'finger' tight to the clips, you'll be able to remove it, easily, for trunk polishing, without getting all of that excess polish lying onto the sides of the nameplate, and in the crevices around the nameplate, on the trunk.

Just take along the nameplate to ensure a good, but loosey-goosey fit to those push-in mounting clips. Man; it is a SMALL MoPar world; never realized that this was you and your car.
