Slymer , it actually was a Tennessee state plate from a car I sold a year or two ago .
(We don't turn plates in here nor do they stay with the car )
I took a burnz-o matic torch and heated up the paint, scraped it off and then sanded all the residue primed and painted . I probably could have just painted it but I was concerned with adhesion so I stripped it .
Seems like I've seen those emblems before recently. Did you get those from a mid 90's Navigator? sail panel emblems from teh '97 Towncar. I really like the look of them.
Actually the emblem was a broken trunk lock cover from an 80's Box Townie and the script came from an early 90s Townie

ah. excellent work there. I probably would have just sanded it myself... but your way insures there's no questions later about the legalities of the plate should the paint ever peel.
yeah... the new 7 letter plates are flat here too. once they left the 3+3 arrangement (2007-ish IIRC), they went to painted on. Vanity plates and specialty plates have been flat much longer though.
They still emboss the 7 letter plates here in NC, been like that as long as I can remember. Recently in 2008 they started painting the embossed letters Metallic Red, instead of the old Dark Blue.
