    There are typically three ways a dealership advertised on someones new car. The first is the license plate frame. This includes toppers and hangers that were popular before the mid-1950's. The second is a pot metal name plate screwed to your deck lid or tail panel. The third was a decal. The 'Shalla' hanger was gone by 1970/71 and was replaced by a decal roughly the same size that was stuck on my mom's tailgate. I have a nameplate from a '62 Dodge Lancer that was from Hodges Dodges (see a Ramchargers race car for the significance).

    What's left of this poor Challenger shows a dealer decal from the local Studebaker dealer here in Plant City, FL.



    You can get new license plate frames if you want to spend the money. The same is true of the decals. Getting a screw down, pot metal nameplate would probably cost a bit more.

      Don't know if i can save it but am going to try. Looks like it's been on midge for awhile. Will have to do something to make it usable due to AZ. new law which fines you $75 if Arizona is not in plain view.

        Thanks Swifter. Mine has the spot for the screw down type you talked of, guess I will try to find one of those instead.

              Here's one I've had for a l-o-n-g time. Yes, it's an original, and no, I don't want to part with it. Maybe someday I'll have a proper era Studebaker to put it on.
