I'm wondering whats correct for a 1967 Shelby or mustang? from the dealers

98SVT - was 06GT

Most dealers had a paper (cardboard) plate with their name or some other Ford ad. West coast dealers seemed to prefer license frames with their names on them while those on the east coast all seemed to have emblems they put on the back with their name.

What is correct? It is just about different in some way for every single dealer.

I think it is fascinating how popular retro dealer license plate frames have become. I would dearly love to find one from Richardson Ford in Albuquerque NM where 6S281 was sold new in Dec 65.
6S281, in my family from 1972-1983. Back home January 2017, will not leave again!

   When I bought a new '67 Shelby GT350 at Richardson Ford, in Albuquerque, NM in May of 1967, they
   attached a white mylar sticker, on the left side, of the trunk lid. I promptly removed it, using a hair dryer.

To each their own but I am like you and have always removed dealer advertising on my cars. It detracts from the car IMO is why I do it.
