Thanks Joel, it's handy to have contacts like these for future reference.
We don't have novelty number plate manufacturers in Australia, technically we are only allowed to have the current number plates on any vehicle however I have not been stopped from displaying the 1936 Canadian plates as an extra. Perhaps they have been mesmerised by the Cord's appearance?

See link. www.autoplates.com/custom-state-embossed-metal-license-plate-nf

I said $35 but probably closer to $50-$60

Joel, where in the world can you have a reproduction number plate made for the sum of $35 US ??????????
I made up a number plate topper which cost around $35 for the engraving and aluminium. I had to finish hand shaping it, painting the letters and drilling the holes.
As my Cord was originally sold in Canada I managed to get a set of period plates from a collector for $120 including postage.

If I were you Carguy32, I would post the plate out on the AACA website under general discussion. There is a broad spectrum of collectors that will give you feedback.

Wow...I would gladly spend 10k for a 1932 AUBURN license plate to put on my fully restored 35k Auburn Coupe Makes perfect sense to me. Or I could have one made for $35 USD paint it and who would know the difference.
Well being a cheap Auburn owner, you do the math

Hi Justin - Not sure - I just set up this membership to sell the plate, I do '32 Fords mostly. I do have an Auburn dash I'm working on for my '32 roadster - please don't beat me up for that one!

I'm still trying to figure out how to make contact with persons on this message board. If I can't make it work, I'll put it up on the Southern California Inland Empire Craigslist later today for contacts. The couple people here along with other folks I've talked to in the car world seem to think a few of these were used on cars for the 1932 Chicago and new York Auto shows and any others around the country. If you are in Southern California by any chance, let me know.

How are people supposed to contact you? I sent a forum PM and never got a response. Was asking about history also. It would be very helpful if you could post up here what you know about it.

You appear to be correct there.
Please, I have 5 classic cars myself, I know there are no dummies on this forum. This is where the Auburn guys are, so that's where I put the plate. I know you are all a bunch of smart Auburn collectors and restoration buffs, and I have no misconceptions about you not knowing the value of things. All I did is make the darn thing available to you and all I get on this site is a bunch of attitude. Is this how Auburn guys are? Please, if you don't want it, leave it alone already.

The rarity is decreasing, so should the price, we know of at least two, Supply and demand.
All kidding aside, it would be interesting to know the history. Is it actually from Auburn, In? There are over 30 cities in the US with the name Auburn, could it been an advertising campaign from one of these cities?
The original poster can ask anything he wants for his plate, but to post it the way he did makes it like we are all unsuspecting saps in my opinion. And his reasoning, because Auburns are an expensive vehicle and because you have a million dollar speedster you need to have a 10k vanity plate, give me a break. Once again, just my opinion. And like they say, their is an ass for every seat.

Put it on the AACA site in general discussion with out a price. OR put in on eBay with your reserve. I may be wrong, but .......................

I have seen 1 of these before, white with light blue lettering.
I think I saw it at Auburn on a car but it could be in my shop.

I'm really getting beat up on this. Why is that car forums are always like this? I do other forums in other hobbies without this type of abuse. Please lighten up, if you don't want it, skip the remarks, please.

If you want it, contact me. Auburns are rare high dollar cars, this is a rare piece, and there is an opportunity to put it on a high end vehicle as a finishing touch.

It would be interesting to know what the original colors were. It may have been used on a 32 at the Detroit or New York Auto show.

Probably worth $50 as is and $75 restored to pay for the paint to restore it.
