car club plaque

looking for a picture or a copy of a car club plaque, the prowlers of so. ca.,the club was located in the los angeles,hollywood, and silverlake area in the 1960's

 

Hey...before anyone busts your balls...you should do an intro in the intro section....anyway, about your question...do a google search "car club plaque" and you will find a site that has a ****load of pictures of plaques...there might be a link or thread here too but I found my old plaque on that site and nobody had ever heard of the old club on my plaque....welcome aboard...

 

You just missed one on Ebay about a month ago. Went for about $30 if I remember right.

 

Check the Alliance venders section: O'Brien Truckers
You are building a ??????
Enjoy the site..

 

As first posts go,that was pretty blunt.

The Prowlers are located in the San Diego area. Maybe check with someone down there.

 

yeah.blunt.we don't like blunt. rude yes,blunt no.got it?no go post a intro if you can figure it out. i could'ent.i hate blunt.

 

http://www.prowlers.org Enough said. I didn't see any plaque pics though.

 

O'Brien Truckers, you can find him on here, I found two hard to find louisiana plaques from him, and was very happy. He has a huge inventory, and a very nice guy. Highly recommended.

 

His name on here is 59buickwagon.

 

These pics are stolen from here on the H.A.M.B. with my apologies to the owners.

 

I have photos of the following Prowlers plaques on our website but nothing from the areas you mentioned.

Sun Valley



Burbank



and further south in Torrance



plus a few others.​

 

Dont you have to be a member to display a plaque on your car?

 

thats what i thought TOO!

 

I thought it was kinda like having MC on your leathers when you werent, then youd get your *** kicked.

But of course, since the San Diego Prowlers are an active club we will not make them anyone but that club.

So loose your bluntness and go become a member of the club if you want one of those (and you can meet their criteria:

"The Prowlers choose members with two main criteria. First, the person must be a friendly, positive person who is knowledgeable and committed to hot rodding. Second, the person must have a 1948 or older Ford hot rod. The hot rod must be in premium condition with at least 3 significant improvements made to it from stock condition. It must be finished to a degree that it reflects positively on the Prowlers Car Club. The hot rod must be painted, upholstered and running in a safe manner. Most of the Prowler members' cars are hand-built hot rods that are driven on the street regularly."

BTW, here's where to go to look for plaques on Bill's site where he has 5500+ photos: http://www.relicsandrods.com/carclubplaques.htm

And here is where to go to look search and see pictures of our collevtion of 12,000+ plaques and pattern made back in the 56/60's. 99% of these are defunct clubs that so we will make reproductions for those that ask. Those that we lnow are active (plus the 3,000+ plaques that we have made in the last 33 years) are not available for reproduction for others than the clubs themselves. http://www.obrientruckers.com/plaques_search.php

 

Dennis, I am a couple years late getting in on this thread but thanks for the accurate listing of the Prowler's membership requirements. We call ourselves a social club. That precludes collecting dues from guys outside our area that just want a maroon plaque on their bumper. From all the car clubs...Thank You Dennis for your ethical control of who can buy the plaques of active clubs!

Also the Prowlers are always looking for local guys that would like to be part of the oldest continually active hot rod club....search out our website "san diego prowlers hot rod club" to contact us. "Since 1947". Jim Reid President

 

Here's a Prowler's plaque on one of my all time favorite Model A's. This delivery knocked me out when I saw it in Street Rodder in '72 and still does. Love to know what ever happened to it.
