Clearing the Confusion: The Evolution of Avanti Rear License Plate Brackets (1963–1985)
Did you know there were actually three different factory designs for the Avanti rear license plate bracket? Many restorers struggle to find the correct fitment, especially for the transitional 1983–1985 models. In this guide, Dan Booth decodes the factory changes that occurred when backup lights moved from the trunk lid to the tail pan.
Learn how to identify the 1st Style (Part #1350230) for chrome-bumper classics, the 2nd Style (#1750760) for the 20th Anniversary editions, and the rare 3rd Style (#1750989) with integrated vertical light tabs for late 1984–1985 models. Dan also introduces his custom 304 Stainless Steel upgrade (#1350230S) and shares a vital "Restorer's Secret": why you must use rubber well nuts instead of standard bolts to protect your fiberglass tail pan.
