Packards International sells them for $45. www.packardsinternational.com
My 1940 has always been registered by engine number, beginning in California, though that engine long ago expired.

The VIN was stamped on the plate, so I have that, too.

When I removed the plate (mine was riveted), I forgot to note which direction it reads from. It's square, so it fits any direction. From the front of the car or from the side (which seems to make the most sense for ease of reading)? But I don't want to rivet my new plate on the cowl until I know which direction is correct (and until the Duchess is painted, which is happening soon).
