C O M I N G   S O O N !

Back by popular demand!
A new, limited run License Plate Topper!

Here's a sneak peek!
This freshly-cast aluminum “Stovebolt Inline 6 Power” topper pictured here is similar to the new one that you will receive. It resembles the original topper produced several years ago that was made available by Stovebolt.com and had its own limited production run. This new 2025 topper is made with love and great pride by craftsmen at Ultimate Casting & Machine —a small foundry that is family owned and operated in West Branch, Michigan.

All lettering and raised portions are polished. Recessed lettered areas are painted black; the area around the “6” is painted red. The “2025” is embossed on the back center.

The topper has the same profile and size as the original. It measures approximately 9” wide, 1/4” in depth, and the lower tab mount area is 6-1/2” on center.

Cost is $75 shipped via USPS (tracked and insured) in the USA. Actual shipping cost will be charged to ship outside of the USA.

Luke picked up the Toppers on November 6 and he is doing the final touches. When he gives us the "Ready," we will switch from "COMING SOON" to "FOR SALE" and include the details for ordering. Luke feels they should be ready as early as next Saturday (Nov 16). shake

Your topper purchase will help commemorate 30 years of the Stovebolt.com on-line community. A certificate of authenticity and appreciation from the Stovebolt office will accompany each license plate topper. "The timing of the Stovebolt Anniversary announcement and the License Plate Topper reveal is just about as good as it gets!" - Luke S.

These toppers will make great gifts for those who cherish the straight-six Chevrolet engine produced between 1929 and 1962.

A portion of each topper sale will help support the operation of the Ogemaw County Christian Fellowship Food Pantry. This is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity organization that helps individuals dealing with food insecurity in this rural northeast Michigan county. The O.C.C.F. Food Pantry is run solely by volunteers and is financially supported entirely with generous donations.


Thank you for supporting this/these efforts. And THANKS to Luke for doing all the leg work on behalf of the Stovebolt Collective.

I'll second the big THANKS to Luke on getting these made and available for the Stovebolt Community! shake

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring, so to speak, and admit I would like to order a "few" of these if that's permitted??? headscratch

I obviously would like one for myself, but I also have some "Stovebolt friends" that I foresee possibly having a really cool stocking stuffer show up for this Christmas. grin

I stand ready for further details and the "For Sale" sign being posted! thumbs_up

Edit: I've placed my request with Luke and look forward to him ringing the bell so we can send funds. Very glad to see some going to a very worthy cause. Thanks again Luke! shake

I want one. I've been waiting several years for these to show up. I don't think I was around when the last batch was offered.

I would like one as well. I'll be out of pocket for a while (my mom is going into Hospice care and I'm heading down to California see her in the morning), so if one could be reserved for me, I would sure appreciate it, as I may miss the rollout. I think they'll be a hot item.

And thanks, Luke for doing this and the donations to a good cause. thumbs_up

This is a picture of the outbuilding (former garage) on the back end of our church property where the Food Pantry distribution takes place. We also use the basement of the former rectory (now 2 rental apartments) for Food Pantry storage. We use a drive-thru format where clients drive up, and volunteers load their vehicle with a food box. We have had a food pantry ministry on site for 30 years.
