Car Show Boards - What Did You Do?

[Erik]

Looking to make up a board for car shows to explain the ZR-1 and LT5. And, of course, the incredible 24 hour record. What did you guys come up with? Any tips on size that works well?

I created this, taking a photo of my car. Mounted it on a 24 by 36 inch board from hobby lobby and cut, wrote, and pasted the rest. If this is not clear enough to read, I can text it to you or anybody if you give me your number. I get very positive comments on it.

While I often wished I had a fancy information board for shows, I never got around to getting one in the four years that I owned my '95. They definitely look nice. What I did instead was create a Word document four pages long with page borders and printed it out. I then got four plastic page sleeves and taped all four together and mounted it inside on the windshield. Despite it being very simplistic, I got several compliments on it including one for being easy to read with large type! Since I was unable to load my Word doc here I have scanned the pages as jpgs. But if anyone wants the Word doc I would be glad to email it. --Bob

Sent it out to you Erik. I also included a similar one I wrote for some other purpose, which eludes me right now, but I am sure I had a good reason back then. Pretty much the same sort of info in a different format. I include it here in case anyone else cares about such stuff. -Bob

Had mine made with a hinged frame so it is 2 sided and will be steady in windy conditions. Wood frame with waterproof print. I used photos of my car along with a write up on the ZR-1 that I had Dave McCelan sign during Carlisle in 2019.

Nice one Charlie!--Bob

Charlie,
Very nice display being two-sided and the Lotus medallion adds the finishing touch to the LT-5.

My board. I am not really graphically talented, but it's not bad for a beginner. 15931

Those are some nice car show boards everyone...these cars are forgotten pieces of not just Corvette history, but automotive history as well. All I do is put the window sticker on the side window and open that hood!! the ooohhss and ahhhhs will follow

I agree! That was one of the many fun reasons to own a ZR-1. And I should note that in addition to my ZR-1 descriptions noted above, I also had a reproduction window sticker (from the NCM) in the window as well. People always liked the information about the car. --Bob

The 'Registry' store used to sell the poster on the right.
That's where mine came from.
Efnfast had some more made up a few years ago, he may
have some left?

I made this for a few shows this summer. I plan to make a new one over the winter.

I do not remember where I had this made, but just a simple one for my 90 Z that I sold in 2016. It worked for me. 🤙🏼

I am looking for a "Pure Energy" poster if anyone has one for sale or knows a source. Thanks
