At Rustic Plates, one of our favorite parts of the job is seeing how our pieces find their way into the hands of people who truly appreciate them. We’re excited to highlight two long-time customers whose enthusiasm, creativity, and love for classic cars have turned our license plate letters into something truly special: Diane and John.
If you’re a Porsche fan, chances are you’ve crossed paths with their work before. Diane and John create beautifully crafted Porsche-themed signs using pre-cut vintage license plate letters. Over the years, their handcrafted signs have found homes all over the United States and even across Europe, especially among classic Porsche owners who treasure models like the iconic 356 or the legendary 904. Each sign carries its own character—colorful snippets of American plate history arranged into the perfect tribute to a beloved car.
One of the things that makes their work so special is their willingness to customize signs for specific models. Whether someone wants “Porsche 356,” “Carrera,” “Speedster,” or something entirely unique, Diane and John build each board with an eye for detail and a genuine passion for the cars these signs honor.
The photo above shows just a sample of what they create. If you’re interested in seeing more of their work or commissioning a custom sign of your own, Diane and John welcome inquiries at: 356goodiestore@sbcglobal.net
We’re proud to have customers like them who take the raw materials we love and turn them into something extraordinary.
