    Here's an original from a few decades ago, found in my neighbor's garage, left by a previous owner of the house.
    Nobody seems to remember the car but I'd guess it's dated to 69 or very early 70's

    Edit : the paint color was introduced in 1970 so the 60's are out and 70's are in as far as when the sign and car were made.

    Not much of a car show guy so I just threw one together since Rusty wasn't into fancy display boards. Later I had McPeak do a more professional one but still staying true to what Rusty is. Sign Board.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20240917_081853133.jpg

    Here's one that turned up at this year's GSTA show in MN - the car is a chopped '34 Ford sedan that was built back in the late '60s. The present caretaker has the original show sign, that was done by Dave Bell. Way cool.

    And striper extraordinaire Cliff Anderson Jr. is still at it, having done this display board for a friend who had his truck at this year's GSTA show.

    Here is the one I had made for the pickup. I designed it using a picture of the trucks grille as a background and has it lettered over the top.
