Who remembers when you had to access the gas tank of a car by lifting up the license plate?
My 71 Camaros license plate flips down. Funny thing is my 84 Z28 license plate flips down but only has hatch lock behind it.
If you think that's unique, try the 1956 Chevy Bel Aire. You had to turn the lock tab on the top of the left rear tail light and the whole light assembly would tilt down to expose the gas cap.
My 71 220 MBZ had the gas cap under the plate. Nice old car.
There were not many cars that did that, but I have encountered one. On a flight to the west coast some years ago, I stopped at the Torrington WY airport for the night; the airport supplied a free car for the use of itinerant pilots. Of course, manners require that you put some gas in it, and I had to hunt for a while before I figured out that the gas fill was behind the license plate.
I have a 1970 Chevy nova and you have to do that I wish all cars have that because it don't make a different what side the gas pump is on. it also give the car a cleaner look by being no door on the side of you body. I was told it was a safety issue because if someone wrecks in the back of your car the tank can blow up.
