    C-3, License plate frames

    The stainless steel license plate frames with the spring steel clips.....what are the obvious differences between the originals and the newer GM replacements? Having a reproduction cost NCRS points?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    The only difference I have seen is that the repro metal is a little thinner.

        The originals have a different rivet at the clip and have patent numbers on the clips. The stamped patent numbers are small so get out your reading glasses. Otherwise the GM frames are pretty close. For those interested the original frames came in a plastic bag (just a little larger than the frame itself) and it had one staple so the frame wouldn't slip out.

          I agree the rivet was larger on originals.
