I've got a few old ones, but none that far back.
That's neat...I'd hang it in your garage or shop or whatever fun space you may have for your kids..I mean cars :D

That is worth a few $ I would imagine. I have some not as old. I had 2 65 Birds when I lived in FL and was able to get and use 65 Florida plates on my cars, now I have a 65 NY plate on my 65, never was a big fan of a front plate so by using it I can get away with just the one
