The historically correct choice for classic German cars.
Before the European Union standardized the blue-strip license plate in 1994, German roads were dominated by this classic design: a simple, clean white background with a black border.
If you drive a vehicle produced between 1956 and 1994—like a vintage Volkswagen Beetle, Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled), BMW E30, or Mercedes W123—this is the period-correct plate for your front bumper.
Why Purists Choose the "Plain White":
No Blue Strip: This plate features a clean white field from edge to edge. No EU stars, no country code—just the classic stark German aesthetic.
Period Correct: Ideal for "Oldtimer" (Vintage) builds or anyone who prefers a minimalist, monochrome look.
Authentic Manufacturing: Just like our modern plates, these are pressed in Knoxville, TN on a 35-ton hydraulic press using heavy-gauge aluminum. We do not use flat printing; your characters are physically embossed.

How to Style Your Vintage Plate

The Text: Keep it simple with standard numbering (e.g., S SL 500).
