Sierra Lincoln Mercry

The Marketplace Parts Wanted
1

All, my ‘67 is about to hit the roads for break in and light road duty. My vehicle was purchased new from Sierra Lincoln Mercury in Reno NV.

To that end, I would like to acquire (if Sierra ever had them) a license plate bracket.

Given the immense knowledge base in the group, is any info out there?

Even a photo would be appreciated, so I could have one made up.

Thanks

Ron

Check to see if Reno has a historical society. If they do contact them as they may be able to tell you more about the dealership and what kind of things they had.

There was quite a long discussion on this forum about license plate frames. IIRC Don Rush at West Coast Classic Cougars had a contact who made reproduction dealer plate frames. A quick search on the forum would probably give you the information you need.

I personally found some old local dealer frames on eBay.

Here is the thread. I ordered two for Hernandez Hayward, but found they don’t have the bottom bolt holes needed for the front bracket on a 70.

Thanks for the responses. I have been following Ebay, and attempted to contact the Reno Historical Society. It’s basically closed until December for a two year renovation/remodel.

I do not know if Sierra LM supplied a bracket.

Best

If you are on facebook there might be some sort of Reno hometown page.

I don’t do Facebook.

I contacted an autoparts store in a wild a_ _ guess. Very interesting conversation not entirely related to my search. He suggested a Ford dealer who in turn recommended a restoration shop. I’m waiting for a possible response as they have a part time employee who worked for a Ford garage 27 years. Long shot….

Sierra Lincoln - Mercury went out of business 15 +/- years ago.

Also checked with several junk yards. Put a part request on Auto-parts.com. Not holding my breath here.

Thanks
