Putting the Holman Moody decal across the hood this way sure grabbed my attention, but then I glanced at the plate, and noticed the aging and color treatment that they've given it, as it is not a 1960' plate, it's just the right colors. The new plates are easy to spot, because they have 7 characters. All the yellow letter on black background plates for cars were 6 characters, the first 3 were letters, the 2nd 3 were numbers. Of course the commercial vehicles (includes El Camino and Ranchero) were different and easy to distinguish from the cars plates

 also the front and back have a different texture in this aging and coloring example

pretty cool to go to this trouble to make the plates seem to be the right ones for the decade. If this car really had the black and yellow plates for a car from 1965-66 they would probably be something like ppp111 through sss-999
