Hi Bill, Missing data plates were fairly common on C's and D's. Maybe it was the speed one could attain and the braking power one could not attain, but many 300's had their noses punched. There's many a 300 out there with the wrong data plate on it because a junkyard 300 was used for a replacement front end clip in the early days. Everyone who has a data plate that does not match the much more safely located VIN plate can account for 2 cars. The one they own which is alive and roaring, and the donor which is most likely a goner. Gil Cunningham can probably tell you if your plates are both correct. Data plates did have the paint code on them. While it is perfectly fine to paint your 300 any color you want, you should retain the data that came with the car from the factory. Gloria Moon When I bought my 300D a few years ago, the data plate from the radiator support was missing. I am considering having one made up. Can anyone provide dimensions or examples of a 58 data plate, and also the correct numbers/letters to match my car? It is a 2 Dr. HT, P.S., P.B., electric seat (sometimes), electric windows. Original color is white, but I believe I might go with Tahitian Coral when it gets repainted. I don't know if the data plates had a paint code or not. Thanks for any help?
