trying to finish up the final details of the a1 restoration. ive notice alot of the a1's have a good driver decal placed on the glove bx lid, but ive been told they were never used until the 1960's.
?- so why are these 1950's newly restored a1's has this decal placed on the glove box lid since they werent used until the 60's

Probably put on later before it was surplused. My '52 had it out of Fort Sill Ok. before it went to a Civil Defense station in Nebraska. The last date stenciled on mine under the hood was '64. John
For judging purposes a factory class resto or a early 1950's period motor pool resto should not have them. A motor pool resto representing a service period during which they were used can use them.
If a person is not restoring for use in a judging environment it makes no difference. _________________ Wes K

There where a Good Driver Plate out in the 50īs.
Not as a decal, but as a real plate, that is rived to the windshild.
I have seen this plate only on one M38 (one of mine) but it is possible that those plates where added to A1īs too.
