Default Bow Tie plate

I walking a swap meet last weekend looking for a billet chrome "bow tie" frame. I learned that a lot of people stopped handling them because of the copy right of the "bow tie"... still looking for one!

I got mine back in 1980... I was up at Elkhart Lake for the Can Am reunion... I met a guy from some outfit from Canada. He was driving down the pit road in a golf cart. The plate surround said " Get in... Hold on... and shut up..." I fell in love with it... I asked about it... He said, if you want it it's yours... I bought him a rootbear float... He unscrewed it and gave it to me.
It's on my 2000 torch red vert. It's my most treasured automotive 'thing"...
I love seeing the people behind me pointing and reacting to it. I love to see the reaction. Of course the plate happens to say.... ZOOOM...
on a corvette, torch red... convertable...
Need I say more?????????????

I have the stock frames, but painted to match the car. May not be unique, but looks much better than the black ones. Here's a pic of the rear one.

The founder of our local Corvette club was a sheriff's deputy. He was killed backing up another deputy on a domestic dispute call (it was his day off). We have plates honoring him.
