Hey gang, I'm looking for a presentable front license plate bracket for a 69 Full Size Pontiac. As we have a number of guys on here with 1969's, I figure someone must have a spare bracket kicking around.
hmmm, I received the license plate bracket in the mail today, and realized it was the same as the one I have for a 68 front end, and there's no hole drilled in the valance for the center bolt.
I got digging through the parts books, and found exploded view drawings of both 68 & 69, and the 69 front license plate bracket bolts to the underside of the bumper. But it does have a couple rubber pads that rest against the valance.
So, the hunt is still on. Can any of you 69 guys help me out?
On a side note, the 69 front valance has the 2 square holes at the bottom and outside the license plate bracket. They seem to be for the elusive V52 - Guard, Front License Plate as seen in my other post.
You are right Randy! My dad was always bending it back out after he went through the car wash! He found a cheaper and safer car wash could be done by....me! They were mounted with 2 bolts under the front bumper and prone to bending.

,I am starting a search to replace the aftermarket one currently mounted on my 2+2. I know it is a long shot, but anybody have one buried in their garage or know where I might find one...besides the one on Randy's car? Looking for the manual one, not power. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Thanks Ray, I've made a contribution made to the site.
Got the bracket in the mail today, thanks again Ray. It appears I've got an early bumper (the holes are there but have never seen a screw in them) and a late valance (no center hole for the earlier bracket).
I'll have to figure out how to mount all this stuff on the garage wall.

Thanks for the plug Randy! I will give an update on the original post as to what I have found.
