The rusty GROOVY License Plate is produced as seen on Ash Williams' 1973 Delta 88 in the television series Ash vs Evil Dead. The “rust” is screen printed onto the plate. Our plates are made from aluminum so they will not naturally rust. The plate is smooth to the touch, but certainly has the illusion of looking old and rusted from a distance! This is the first design we have done in this manner, and we are proud of how they turned out. Each plate is brand new, made in the USA, and individually shrink-wrapped.
