davysmodels Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 https://www.acme.com/licensemaker/ Free license plate maker. Make the plate and then right click on the plate image and select COPY (from the drop-down window that displays the options ). Place the image in Microsoft Publisher or WORD or your favorite image editing program to resize to 1/25 scale. Size is approximately 3/8" X 3/16". If you have a color printer, print on white card-stock paper. If you want a glossy look, spray the plate with Testors Gloss clear lacquer (or similar). For a photo finish , have the image printed at Office Depot on Photo Paper. Cost = about 1.50 per page. Make many license plates to fill the page.

1972coronet Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I wonder why some years are 'missing' from those sites' offerings ? Michigan '76 is my favourite , yet no one has that style . California blue & gold ( 1970 - 1986 ) are also a no-go . @Ramfins59 , what state's plates are you going to customise ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the US Bicentennial plates were cool. I grew up in Montana, and their '76 plates are my favorite. I am sure Acme used to have them, but, you're right, they aren't there, anymore.

I find it a bit odd that this state has thee most bland plates around ! Number one in car culture , and number 50 in plate designs... The Michigan '76 ( ad seq. through 1978 ) have been my favourites since seeing them in person (back in summer 1976) and in just about every AMT kit from that era .

I wanted to use a 1959 PA plate, but that year was not offered. I wound up picking 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
