the govt still wants income taxes even after you start collecting SS. I have been paying income tax since I was 18 years old and at 83 I am still paying.

Is there a breakdown of which years had the "owner" tab and which, if any, did not?

When I purchased my '63 in Sept. of '63 I returned an owner's registration card to Chevrolet and soon after I received an owner's kit in the mail. From what I remember it consisted of a welcome letter, a credit card size owner's card with my name and the VIN on it along with a gold plated owner's lapel pin. For many years I had the pin mounted in the dash of my subsequent Vettes until, I think, my '97 and newer ones which really had no good place on the dash to mount it. It has sat in my little jewelry box ever since. Back in the early 90's someone saw the pin mounted on the dash in my '85 and made the comment that these pins had become very rare and quite valuable with it being worth at that time about $300. Does anyone know what the present value is or where I might find out more info on this.

When values got to the $200 range someone reproduced them . They looked exactly the same only better quality as the stem was cast into the center mass. They were $140.00 range. Its a shame they were not larger.
