    P-o-p

    The reverse embossed info on the Protect-O-Plate was used to over print information on the vehicle and original owner for dealer work orders and any warranty service claims for warranty work and labour by Buick dealers. A new vehicle warranty was also transferable to a new owner within the warranty period.
    Hope this helps !
