Replica License Plates for Museums, Movies, Memorabilia & Art

Museums around the world are busy collecting antique automobiles to preserve for generations to come. In many cases, autos once owned by famous personalities and acquired by museums are restored to mint condition. In many cases, the original license plates are missing and no longer exist. Usually, a famous person has been photographed with their automobile and the original license plate is seen in photos. To complete the restoration, Licenseplates.tv recreates the original license plates –using the photo as a reference. Only after the replica license plate is fitted to the vehicle the public gets to see the famous automobile. Law enforcement and first responder museums with completely restored squad cars, paddy wagons, fire engines and Harley-Davidson motorcycles used in “the old days” request old replica license plates from Licenseplates.tv . We salute retired police and first responders who spend their retirement protecting history by restoring antique police cars, fire engines and motorcycles.

Modern shooting of movies in HD and IMAX formats has been a challenge for Prop Departments. In these formats, even the minute details are evident on film!

Licenseplates.tv is the primary source for license plates used in movies –from around the world. Movie studios and their Prop Masters depend on Licenseplates.tv for old license plate replicas which are period correct and also made to look like the originals. After filming, most of the specially made items for the movie are stored at the studio’s vaults and if the movie becomes a classic, these items (including license plates) will be auctioned to the public. Licenseplates.tv has built a library over the past 20 years to assist Prop Masters and movie studios in their research of license plates –especially historical plates from many years past. Licenseplates.tv can re-create antique license plates from old black and white photos and use our resource library to deliver authentic-look antique metal license plates.

Shopping for License Plates on the Internet

The most difficult part in shopping the internet for license plates is the selection of the store.  There are at least one-hundred internet stores selling license plates but only one store with the widest selection of license plates in the world.  This store is Licenseplates.tv which offers license plates from countries like Andorra to popular countries like Russia, Germany and Switzerland.  The Licenseplates.tv store offers the most complete line of license plates in the world and 98% of the countries of the world are represented in the product category, which includes States within the United States and the Provinces of Canada.  License plates from all countries are made by embossing Aluminum with the correct fonts and finished in correct colors and designs.  It is no wonder that the movie and TV studios from Hollywood and around the world count on Licenseplates.tv to accurately make license plates for film and TV production.

Art Directors for movies and TV shows and auto enthusiasts alike choose Licenseplates.tv for accurate reproduction of metal license plates.  In movie/TV vehicle crash scenes, where plastic license plates shatter and not bend, prop masters noting the high resolution of HD or IMAX camera formats, chose only metal license plates from Licenseplates.tv.  Auto enthusiasts select Licenseplates.tv because no other internet merchant offers accurate versions of authentic license plates in embossed/stamped metal.  Licenseplates.tv is the only internet merchant to offer accurate fonts for country, state and province license plates.  Most internet merchants can only manufacture European style license plates using the new German license plate font –even for European countries with different fonts like the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, Holland, France or other European community member countries.  Unfortunately, search engines like Google or Bing does not check the accuracy content on the internet, so merchants use various gimmicks to get on the top the page for search results and never know they are purchasing a license plate with incorrect fonts.  After investing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars/Euros to purchase a nice automobile, customers are duped by many internet merchants and mainly the search engines (Google & Bing) purchasing, for example, a Great Britain and the United Kingdom license plate with incorrect new German fonts.
