Many will remember that Crosville vehicles would have had small black internal fleet plates placed on the internal side of destination panels of their vehicles back in the day as the attached photograph. I wonder what happened to the original one on CRG163? We are looking for a company that could reproduce an internal fleet plate for CRG163 which would have been placed on the vehicle’s internal destination blind panel originally.
The photo below is of similar internal fleet plates used by Crosville on their vehicles back in the day of two different dimensions.
The larger internal plate (SMG507 and SMG534) below measure approximately 142mm across and approximately 42mm down. The smaller internal fleet plate (EMG491 and ERG6) measures 122mm across and approximately 42mm down.
We assume that CRG163 would have carried the smaller internal fleet plate based upon the rationale that SMG507 was registered in 1964; SMG534 in 1965; EMG491 (downgraded from CMG in the early 1970’s) and ERG6 was registered in 1967. Therefore from the above image it is likely that the size of the internal fleet plate was reduced sometime in the late 1960s.
