The Black tags match the car perfectly!

Yes, this is a never used tag. As a general rule, we never get used tags.
As this is an imported car, my Buick Marquette came to Finland from America
in 2008, it obviously didn't have a tag before. On previously registered cars,
you may get the old tags back.

Pics:
The Buick with it's post 1972 licence plates.
Six digits. Also the new plates since about the year 2000 have a blue
extension that says FI and EU. I cut that off, it's just too ugly on an
old car. (criminal behaviour)
And in the second pic the
Essex, which had its original tag on new plates, since it had been sold
new in Finland. Same style, but I painted the outer border black to make
for an older look, that border line came in in the fifties, I think.
Also not allowed, but luckily mischief no one cares much about.

 Happy 250th & Fourth of July to everyone!
I spent the day adding water to the pond and making sure all the tanks are full and hoses sorted out. Several small fires in the area already.Some beaches closed early at Tahoe due the huge crowds of teenagers drinking and littering. Funny place Nevada, fireworks are legally sold on the Indian Reservations but illegal in the rest of the state to use or possess. So you can buy all you want but become a criminal as soon as you leave the Res.

Many of the celebrations have been great to watch. Tall ships, flyovers..........God Bless America and God the President for making this happen.

Happy birthday to you Rattiac and happy 250th birthday to the good old USA!!!

Installed the new valve covers. Almost forgot.
Bonneville kicked our butt. We was hoping he could do a 200mph.
High winds hit Friday. Made one run Saturday at 171 then winds hit again. Sunday wasn't any better.

Thanks guy's.
Sorry, I was busy getting the trailer fixed, new axle and tires for Bonneville test n' tune. On a side note I almost forgot I bought myself a present and finally installed those.
Hope everyone has a good 4th.

Hope y'all have a good and safe 4th weekend. Geeze it doesn't seem to be 50yrs later from the bicentenial, Time flys. I'm not seeing all the special editions like 50yrs ago on vehicles and tractors. I think Chevrolet started the promotion in '74 with the "Spirit of America" series. The Impala was the best looking in my opinion. Had a gal and her daughters moved to town with one. It was the tripple white 2dr ht. Really good looking car. The Elcamino looked terrible, the Nova and Vega didn't look bad though. To my recolection, they never had a Camaro edition.

Looks good on there, you got lucky! Was it a never used tag?
All ours get destroyed on left overs for the year. Here in Kansas anyway, your only allowed to use a year of manufature tag. Then you have to take it to court house for approval of condition as they all are used. Your not allowed to refinish either🙄

I finally got my coveted black old style five digit licence plates
that cars in Finland had prior to 1972.
These plates have been obsolete for a few years now, but a very
Helpful lady at the local DMV found an unused pair of plates in
a small town and had them sent here!
I was so happy that I wrote a little note and put a tiny symbolic
gift in the envelope.

Cool rides!  Glad you found the vibration! Enjoy!!!
