Ya im with you........... Tell us. Ive got a wooden box that ive been saving my dash plaques since the 70's and ya know ive told my self a hundred times im gonna get rid of these but they all have an interesting story even if its just the story of going to the show and drinking beer 8)  8) . Ive tried to make a board to put em on but it just never works out. They come in all sizes and some are magnetic (that sucks with my glass car) and some are too big and some are too wierd :!:  Maybe we should have a contest some time for the most .  :?:  :?:  Then the nsra fools us at time and gives us hat pins! Ive got a few from the old detroit fairgrounds nats. (man i really had fun there) now its kzoo (got a bunch of them too).............
Tell us  :?:  :?:  :?:

[My name is Allen Culver and i live in a town called Streator Illinois and i videotape car shows and cruise nights around here every weekend from March to October.What i do with the dash plaques is I use them on the videos that i make.I use them on front cover of the DVDs and VHS Tapes.Also on the video that i make the first thing you see on the videos is the dash plaque of that certain show or cruise night and then it transitions over video and i can add music to the videos if you like.And i enjoy collecting alot.any help would be very appreciated

i know at some shows that i film at that old dash plaques cost from 50 cents to a dollar.When i film a show or a cruise night i also ask the promoters for a dash plaque and i show them what i use them for.

Thanks

Hey, I may have seen you at Streator?  One of the last car shows/cruises that I entered my Chevy in was Roamers cruise in 2003 in Streator.  Did you video that one?  I've got the window sticker, but I don't think they gave plaques, as I don't see one on the fridge.  Are you going to JCW on the 17th?

A friend of mine put all of his dash plaques onto boards and displayed them the other day at a car show with his car. He has quite a few of them!
A street rod is a vehicle made before 1949 that is modified with modern stuff: bigger motors; newer trans; updated suspension, front & rear; a/c.

I didn't make it to the cruise at Subway; got home too late after putting in some required OT.  I don't know if I'm going to make it to Whitney on Sunday either; seems to be too much to do lately.  It's usually a last minute decision that morning if I'm going or not.  I haven't had the Chevy out in a while though.  Maybe I'll see ya there.
