Very neat. Why did you get rid of the original license plate in the '70's? Just curious, as I see it a lot.....usually the owner wanted a 'fresher' look...nobody cared about the black plates at the time.

We've owned our 66 coupe more than 42 years (acquired March 1977). Numbers matching and driven regularly except when the roads turn snowy here in Wisconsin.
