(http://www.wizardofdraws.com/images/chick4.gif) You hit a homerun with that one. Tell us more about it. Where did you get it etc? Regards Alex Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: ACE on August 23, 2003, 12:09:32 AM 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.
Regards ACE ;) Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: ACE on August 18, 2004, 10:43:43 PM This "NASCO ACCESSORY" poster shows a FC with a CHROME NUMBER PLATE SURROUND attached to the front bumper bar. :) Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: RET on August 19, 2004, 12:00:55 AM 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 ($2): (http:///techinfo/nasco/trimstyle/images/easifitframe.jpg) 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. cheers RET Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: ACE on August 19, 2004, 08:15:27 AM 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? ;) Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: Fast_Eddie on August 19, 2004, 07:45:01 PM 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 Regards Edward Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: RET on August 19, 2004, 08:54:13 PM Quote 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? ;) Regards ACE 8) 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 Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: ACE on August 19, 2004, 10:57:50 PM 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 8) Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: RET on August 19, 2004, 11:45:05 PM 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 RET Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: mcl1959 on August 20, 2004, 07:19:55 AM 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. Ken Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: nigelb42 on August 20, 2004, 08:10:39 AM Sheesh!!!
I think I will leave it as it is.........Thanks to all who answered my original question on the other post and this one. Nice poster ACE. ;D Nige Title: Re: "NASCO" Post by: HAD 708 on August 20, 2004, 11:58:02 PM That poster is a stunner a real fantastic piece of nasco history and even better with the lovely fully dressed FC as the star attraction thanks for sharing it .
