Anyone know who manufactures oval plates? Conducted an internet search but didn't find anything. I'm assuming our cars from the 70s had oval plates.

Search for German tourist license plates.
I looked a little more. They're old export plates. |

When I picked up my Westfalia Camper in Germany in summer of 73 it had them on it.

The oval plates were *not* normal license plates, they were "Zollkennzeichen" and only used on vehicles for international transport.
They were phased out in the late '80s and replaced by normal rectangular plates with a red sticker on them to indicate the "Zollkennzeichen" status. Regular German license plates have always been rectangular ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Thx for the info. Can't decide what plate to put on the front, standard euro obviously will not fit.

Get rid of the extra tits and a rectangular plate might hide all the mounting points. I’ve considered that if I actually keep the BUB’s but I can’t convince myself to keep them at this point.

Cals' advice is probably your best bet. They advertise in Sports Car Market magazine with the web address listed above and a phone number of 800.491.2068 or 954.485.0995.
My oval plate was given to me by a customer whom I arranged a European Delivery of a new VW back in the '80s when I worked for a VW/Alfa dealer. She graciously gave me the plate that her new car was delivered with when she picked it up in Germany. Paul Attached thumbnail(s)

I still have the original one from my first car - a 1978 mk1 golf that was brought over in 1984. I am going to pull it off the garage wall and use it on my latest project - if I ever get it done (it's seemingly easier to get parts for a 914-6 than an old rabbit... ugh).
I remember seeing grey market/imported Audis with these plates around the neighborhood back in the 80's. Being that the purpose of this build is to go back in time a bit, I figured it would be fun to bring the plate out of retirement. hopefully the local police agree....
