A tribute to the club plaque...photo post

So I've taken a lot of photos of Club Plaques, most of these are from Paso but I thought I'd share them here.

Here's the photobucket link:

Cool.... the Vultures one is on the back of my friend Steve's Daimler Hemi powered 32

 

"Panel Beaters" must be a British, Aussie, Kiwi, Canadian expatriate club since that term has never been used in the States.

 

Mind if I add to your collection?

 

Yeah let's start a collection here, those zombies plaques are pretty cool.

Here's how the Vipers do it.

 

ok i don't want to stir some $hit but did anybody catch this one in Paso besides me??? i did a DOUBLE TAKE!!!

 

here's ours...Thanks Dennis...

 

Cool.

There have been quite a few threads about club plaques but I think this is the first that shows them on the rides instead of on a kitchen table.

 

We got ours delivered by the maker - Bedsled of Bedlsed Kustoms - at Paso, and flipped out on its origininality. Each plaque's background will be painted a color matching the owner's car. Saw Brian's today (pictured, @ Paso), it looks even better polished w/ the backdrop black.

Anyone have a plaque of the Paegans out of San Gabriel Valley, CA? Doin' history work on my late uncle's club.

 

We camped out, here's what mine looked like AFTER Paso....

 

thanks Dennis

 

Here's a recast of my Dad's old club plaque. He lost his original many years ago. All he had was a picture of it (on another club member's car). After going all over trying to get artwork done to recast it, I contacted O'Brien Truckers, and he had all the old patterns from Chicago Metalcraft. He made me a new casting, and I had the auto paint shop across town match the paint color from the photo. I gave it to my Dad for Christmas three years ago. I have a second one that I plan on putting on my jalopy when I finish it. Any original club members on the HAMB?

 

Here is our club plaque "Silhouettes".

 

I liked the silhouettes plaque the best because I are one nguk! Rags

 

Here's mine.

 

A Kiwi came up with the name.

Lawrence (lgh1157) and I were sitting in my living room talking about body work. when he mention in New Zeland there called Panel Beaters. i told himthat, that would be a cool name for a club. a few days later. we got to seriously talking about it and then the Panel Beaters C.C was born 11 of us now.

 

Street aces reminds me of the old Bergen Wheelers plaques.

 

This was my old car club out of Belleville, Ontario in Canada. The club is still going strong, and last summer at their 50th anniversary, all the old members were given a keychain with a small recast of the original club plaque on it.---Brian

 

A $5 yard sale find....

 

Here's the Chrome Czars plaque in my 59



and my fiance's fictitious car club, the Drag Queens. We haven't had the time/money to get it cast yet, and a chip got taken out of it.
