Default Car show vehicle information display boards

I did a search but didn't find anything here........

Looking for recommendations on who people are using for car show display boards.

Thanks

Mine was made by a local sign company.

This is who I have used for years and am very happy with them. You somewhat design them and they ship it to you.

I have made all of mine myself. I'm a bit of a history buff so I like to describe some history of the car in general, and what made it special back in the day, and then the last couple paragraphs are specific to my actual car.

The bullet points are a summary for those too lazy to read the entire sign.

I choose the board title's from either advertising slogans back in the day "Jet Smooth Chevrolet", "Command Performance", or magazine articles "13-second Grocery Getter", "Street Racer's Special", etc.

I create them as a word.doc and then just have FedEx Office print them on rigid poster board and then I build a wood frame for them to display next to the car at a show.

Pretty simple to do if you know what you want! PowerPoint can do wonders! Then just pick your size to print on a Foam Board at a local Print Shop.

I made my own, just a 8x11" sheet of paper in a plastic frame and made a mount I can insert in the hood latch hole. Easy peasy and quick to put up and remove. Plus you cannot close the hood with it in, so you can't accidentally leave it behind

There is a guy here in Florida that has a pretty nice old Chevy truck. He had a highly detailed sign made and spelled camaro (for subframe) wrong. I asked him one night and he said everyone lets him know so make sure your spelling is correct lol

I met this person at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale this year who made some high end boards. I believe he is also the Marketing Director for the Camaro Nationals. His name is Drake Donovan.
