I bought these license plates during a trip to the Corvette Museum a few years ago. They represent the years of the Corvettes I have owned. I put them away and forgot I had them. Obviously I found them and will now proudly display them in the garage. I attached them together using lightweight decorative chain. Thought I would share my handy work.

I have bought those for my last two cars, a '00 and not an '03. Not a bad idea to get one for all that I have owned, which would be eight license plates.

I've got license plates for our cars going back into the 70's and for whatever reason just hung on to all the personalized tags that were on the various vettes and daily drivers - - they're all in a box in the garage . . . maybe I'll try a little of this 'garage art' !

So, out of curiosity, what is that design in the middle of each plate supposed to represent? It looks like a candle drawn in the South Park style. I'm not getting it.

I agree - the plate is just a little vague imho.

Apparantly you have never been to the Corvette Museum. That is the profile of the "rotunda" at the NCM.

Your thread inspired me to chain together license plates from states we lived in and mount it to our wall to join all my other signs.

Wife came home and said, "I see you put something else up."

See what you started!
