    NEW Squarebirds.org License Plates!!!

    Dave Dare ~ simplyconnected and I are excited to announce a new Squarebirds.org merchandise item that is now available to you! This all came together when one of our members asked if we could make a copy of the license plate that Greg Prince found in the trunk of his Last 1960 Squarebird Produced. Dave and I had a better idea and came up with these. A month or more ago, I asked for copies of the various nose or roof ornaments for the 1955-1966 and 2002-2005 Thunderbirds. Thanks to those of you who provided them to us, we were able to use them to create your own personalized Tbird License Plates! If you own a 1955-1966 or a 2002-2005 Tbird (including the 50th Anniversary Edition), you can now own your own License Plate for your Tbird.

    Partnering with our Squarebirds Merchandise supplier, Dreams2Things, Dave and I spent the last few weeks creating the 18 License Plates. Dave was a tremendous help to me, teaching me how to create these plates using Adobe Photoshop CS3. The results of our efforts can be seen by clicking on the Merchandise button at the top of the Forum. Slide down through the various Squarebirds.org items available to all of you til you get to the License Plate. Click on it and it will take you to the entire list.

    Slide down to: Please Choose: Style and select the year of your Tbird that you want a License Plate for. For example, 1955. A picture of the 1955 Little Bird License Plate will come up and you can click on each picture to enlarge it. You will see that it has the mounting holes in it ready for mounting on your Tbird, and the link to our Forum. This is an actual sized License Plate that you can place on your front license holder (for those of you who live in States that do not require a License Plate on the front). Or you can put it above/below your front State License Plate. Or you can place it in the rear window of your Tbird for all to see.

    Below the Year selection and the Add To Cart section there is an additional section called the Additional Images section where you can also click on the year of your Tbird and look at and enlarge the License Plate you selected. At a cost of $11.95 (plus shipping) each these are a steal and you can pay for them through PayPal! Jay has given us very fair pricing on all of our Squarebirds.org merchandise that is available to you.

    There are a couple of small, minor fixes that need to be made to the License Plate section, and we have addressed that to Jay. The License Plate section is fully operational and you can buy your License Plates now! Please let us know what you think of them and tell the others on the Forum to check this out! Here is what the 1955 Little Bird and 2005 50th Anniversary Edition License Plates look like to give you an idea.

      NEW Squarebirds.org License Plates!!!

      I just had a good conversation with Jay, the owner of Dreams2Things! I asked him, among other things, if he handles international orders and he said he does. He ships all over the world. I gather if you are outside the USA and order, you will have an indication of the shipping costs show. When I ordered my license plate, the default shipping was Priority Mail. The other option was for UPS, which was more than twice as much as USPS. So, I went with USPS Priority Mail and should be looking at my new license plate by the weekend.

          Plates

          Good to hear Ray. When you do receive them, can you take a pix, so we can see what the Square-Bird plate looks like.

          Thank You

            Hi Chris! All you have to do to see what they look like is to click on the Merchandise button at the top of the Forum. That brings up dreams2things. Then slide down the merchandise til you see the License Plate. The default is 1955, but go to the section where you can select the year for your Tbird, Please Choose Style, click on it and it will bring up your license plate. Then you can click on the license plate it to enlarge it and get a good idea what it looks like. The full sized plate should look just like it when you get it.

              NEW Squarebirds.org License Plates!!!

              I just got my new '59 Squarebirds License Plate. It came Priority Mail shrink wrapped to a thick piece of cardboard inside a Priority Mailing envelope. It is on fairly thick plastic, probably about 1/4", I would say. I think it looks really sharp and nice. I took some pix of it, but probably did not have enough light on it. The printing is overlayed on a nice white plastic piece. I decided to scan it in so you can see how nice it looks. I did not get the whole piece in the scan, but you can get a good look at it. Here is my picture also, but it came out a bit darker. I should have had more light on it.

                      Hi Eric! Thank you. I am glad you like it. dreams2things has some good stuff, and there should be more to come shortly. Hey, that is a good place to display it. I was thinking about putting mine in the back so you could see it through the back window, but I think that is a better location.

                        Hi Ray & other members. I think they all look good, but I would rather prefer without the screw slits. Do you think I'd be able to purchase without?

                          Hi Chris, I do not know if you can get one without the screw slits, but I will ask Jay. I will let you know what he says when I get a response.

                            Here is what Jay had to say about this.

                            "Unfortunately, the blank plates come pre-drilled. I'll keep my eye open for alternatives though."

                            I will let ya'll know if he comes up with some blank plate stock that is not pre-drilled.
