Studebaker VIN# Plates

Perhaps off topic, but is there a way to get a cowl tag reproduced? Thanks.

Some years ago I was doing a resto on my Bombay red 53 Commander. The car had been reimported from Guatemala. While there it had been repainted and during that process the body cowl tag had been lost.

Hell bent on doing a 400 point car I bought some blank cowl tags from Jon Myers and started trying to find the correct font with zero success. I ran into Bob Belling from Connecticut at York who agreed to try to make one for me by hand from one of the blanks. His work as is typical of him was flawless ---an exact reproduction.
