i have this collection of plates. are they worth anything and are they desirable for concours showing?

It doesn't add or deduct points. However, the year plates are cool. What are you asking for the '67 plate pair? I might be interested. Keep in mind to have them restored at about 150.00 a set.

For concours showing the vintage plates would not add and in fact they would technically be subject to a deduction given the car is represented as new when the customer received the car from the dealer. At least in the SAAC ,Mid America Shelby and MCA concours venues . Typically if found on car at time of judging we would politely ask them to remove the plates for judging just like we do for floor mats or other items left in or on the car. I can't speak for all but at least what the judges I have judged with typically do. For display only type venue or popular vote the vintage plates are a cool addition IMO.

I passed on a '66 Tennessee plate, the cool part was the lower banner on the plate read "Shelby" for the county. :)
the 67 ones are cool. My car is from texas.
1967 Texas pair $100 if anyone is interested.
Part of the problem with "judging" cars is there very little consistency from year to year and organization to organization.
Some organizations refuse to supply even basic information to entrants.

I don't remember that far back, but would a temporary "paper
plate" taped to the back window or in the rear plate area be correct?
You can't leave the dealer and drive on the street without something.
open to offers on any of the plates.
bump. still available

Depends if its Concours
Driven vs. Concours
Trailered, there is a difference. My 69 Mach has since moved to conservator but we drive it and showed it in Concours Driven with no deductions for state mandated license plates.
Richie, I believe in 1968-69 in North Carolina if you bought a new car and traded in a used car the plates transferred to the new car. In Georgia it was just the opposite the plates stayed with the old car. The registration changed but not the plates. It appears in some states the new vehicle did have plates when it left the dealership.
As for CA there was a "dealer temporary" issued. It was taped in the rear window or the front window left side until the state issued plates were issued by the state and mailed to the registered owner.

Not at an MCA National with a Shelby. Too often it's the same judging crew.
Maybe I should've worded that differently so you guys would understand, I'm saying that if your car is licensed and tagged for driving LEGALLY on the roads, that you have to have a state issued license plate(s) for your car with NO deductions in Concours Driven in the MCA.
Trailered=different story.
This post is basically the same thing I said in above post just worded different.
Make sense now?
