I bought the poster about 10 years ago from Bendigo Swap. Its about 3ft high x 2.5ft wide and its the only one i have ever seen.

This "NASCO ACCESSORY" poster shows a FC with a CHROME NUMBER PLATE SURROUND attached to the front bumper bar. :)

Ace,

I can't blow it up clearly and big enough to see, but am happy to take your word for it.

Be that as it may though, it doesn't list the over-rider in the legend on the side, only the number plate frame, which is a different accessory:


The part number 7410076 or 7409228, known as a "GUARD ASSEMBLY - Front License Plate" does not appear in the NASCO Accessories Catalogue [Brochure 93-ACCES-58], so I'm still unconvinced.

RET,
Would you like me to email a close up pic of the "NASCO ACCESSORIES" poster showing the FC with the licence plate guard fitted? ;)

Ace,

Here's an idea for you.

I have a body shell with an ID plate that matches those colours exactly, 58 scheme, terracotta base, abode beige over, with a black and turkish ivory interior.

You can buy it from me, build the car up with all the accessories, and I'll even throw in a genuine front centre bumper bar section with holes for a number plate bracket......

Then you can go to shows with the car AND the poster!

Nationals are around the corner.......  ;D

What I'd like you to do is roll it up and post it to me.  Thanks.

Seems to me this debate is becoming a bit semantic.  The question originally posted was "Did the FC front bumper come with a number plate surround?"  No it didn't.  I know that some dealers may have promoted it as an accessory, for that matter  I've got a W.T. Coggins accessory list that includes it.  Dealers did all sorts of things.  I was not convinced that it was promoted as such by GM-H and/or Nasco, but am happy to be put right.

I think it's more likely that it was a common accessory for FE standard and business sedans, since they had the empty holes in the bumper and they do look a bit unfinished as a consequence.  It may have been carried over to the FC, but I don't think it was strongly promoted nor was it all that common.

As I said before though, always happy to learn.

cheers

ret,
You wrote "If they were sold as accessories then thats news to me"
Then ret wrote
"I've got a W.T. Coggins accessory list that includes it.  Dealers did all sorts of things".
So they were sold as accessories for FCs as i said! ;D

Ace,

You are as correct as you are pedantic.  I said both those things.  Please read "If they were sold as accessories then that's news to me" to mean "If GM-H/Nasco sold them as official FC accessories then that's news to me".  I cannot recall ever having seen the license plate guard listed in any GM-H/Nasco FC literature.  So in that sense, I guess your poster is "news to me". ::)

This was supposed to be a simple question, wasn't it? :-/

cheers

If I'm not mistaken the poster says "NUMBER PLATE FRAME" which is the piece of metal which attaches to the number plate - not the FE guard.
I'm with RET - I don't think NASCO ever offered the guard as an accessory.  Some dealers did - this is not the point in question as far as I can see.
