Bill, I've given you an image of the Gaters plaque for your site. Thought I'd chime in here and add to your post and great collection. Chris
My buddy's Grandpa was a member of this club here in Phoenix in the late 50's. Here is a picture of one of the new plaques we had re-casted from an original. This is a picture of my friend's Grandpa's "new" (although pretty well hopped up ) '57 Ford with the plaque in the back window. And here's a closer picture of the plaque in the back window.
Seriousley though, that is an impressive list. I see the tag for Rapid City is an old one I got off Ebay, looks like the Ebay pic in fact. I have another South Dakota tag that isnt on there, I will try and get you a pic.
No, the irony of that statement is that our tag is in my avatar! If you want to make a note, we have guys in SD, KS, OK,MO,IL,WI........damn I may be forgetting someone!
This is ours, My Grandfather and Uncles used to Race at the local drag strip under the name Vacavillains, because the town we grew up in is Vacaville, so we carried the torch for them...
Here is a keychain reproduction that was given out 2 years ago at my old clubs 50th anniversary---this was and still is the "official" Belleville Road Angels" plaque.
Shouldn't that be gold...and hanging around your neck? LOL!!! Just kidding,that's pretty cool. Not traditional,but cool...
I met an original member yesterday, saw this plaque in his back seat and took a pic. He removed it from the rear window when he was replacing the rear window and hasn't yet put it back. Please PM me if you know anyone who was in this club. Thanks
