Fleabay Redux

The planet-wide junk shop that never closes has yet again dropped a really boss restoration detail right into my lap:

The Korean War prompted Ohio not to issue metal plates in '52, the year our Cruisette was originally titled.  I've looked at a fair amount of plates and never seen another one with the 1952 registration decal intact.  In an uncharacteristic instance of openmindedness the Ohio BMV will allow owners of historical vehicles to run, what they call, model year plates.  Come registration time this will be our new old plate.
