C2 1966 air question

[Jerry L.]

I apologise if this has been asked before but, I did a search with no luck. I have an early 66 roadster, 327, 300hp, Powerglide, Air Conditioned, A.I.R. California car that I have had since 1977. My question has to do with the license plate location. I have seen reference, and photos, to Air Conditioned cars as having the front licence plate under the right front bumper. My car came with the plate in the center and there is no indication that it was ever under the right front bumper. I am sure I am missing something. Is this correct? If not why?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Larry ! The offset license location was for big block with auto and air conditioning in 67. It allowed for extra airflow to the radiator.

It was also on the left (driver's) side.

Thanks for your reply,

I had the BB in the back of my mind shortly after posting. Not sure why I thought it was on the right side, bad memory I guess.
