I know some may be wondering, 'What? Tyrone doesn't know this?'. Yes, my LIL bretheren, I don't know. So, now I want to know. Why do lowrider put these dealership plates (Felix, Massey, etc.) on their cars?

I've thumbed through Lowrider Japan and damn near every car has them. I've even seen them for sale. So, what's the fascination with these plates? When did it start?

I was thinking of placing dealership plates on my '64 Impala when it's done, but I would put plates of a hometown (Champaign, IL) dealership (Sullivan Chevrolet). Would that be "lame" or "faking the funk"?

Anyone know?

Yes, you answered your own ?? People put their hometown, but it then became a fad. I know the guys from Brown Pride all have Cone Chevrolet from Fullerton,

I don't want to jump on the "bandwagon" and be labeled a "bandwagoneer" either, but if people do this to represent where there from, then I'll get one to represent where I'm from.

Felix is also a very old dealership that is downtown LA, and has a unique plate. I wouldn't put a Chevy, Hyundai, Kia plate. Hell I don't even have Felix anymore. got played out, that along with the Impala deer on every panel, headrest, battery, rim on the car :0 :0

Thank you Brandon! :thumbsup: So, I'll get plates from the Chevrolet dealer in my hometown.

I didn't want to get the Felix, Massey or Cone Chevrolet like everyone else.

I should have got the plates from Carson Toyota when they spelled out CARSON in the old blue and yellow plates :angry:
