There's also a college-town atmosphere, thanks to the University of Arizona, which has its own share of museums and a science center. Whether golfing at a world-class golf resort, horseback riding, hiking in the wilderness, discovering desert flora and fauna at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum or exploring pre-Columbian and other art at the Tucson Art Museum, you'll have a mind-boggling array of things to do.
The protecto plate was a factory identification card that was supplied through the dealer to the lucky recipient of a brand new 1967 Chevelle. It came in the back of the booklet shown above and carried coded information about the factory installed equipment / options for that particular vehicle, and this is why they are so talked about now.... it is proof of how the car was originally delivered.
This is a copy of a protecto plate 'imprint', the actual plate is metal with a wavy edge.. I did not use the original as all the letters and codes are 'reversed' and would be impossible to read. Here is how the numbers work out. 1  This letter indicates the colour of interior. 2  This is the body colour, lower first, then upper. See the paint codes for the colours. 3  The Vehicle Identification Number... VIN. To decode this... go to Decoding VIN Numbers. 4  Carburetor Style. R is for a Rochester. H is for a Holley.
