Another trivia question for you Barners............

What types of dash medals, plaques or memorabilia do you have mounted inside your cars??

I have St. Christopher and some Ford Rouge tool check plates hanging from around my steering column.

Rat Fink always adorns my rides. I am a second generation pinstriper, graphic designer for my 9-5, so Ed Roth is one of my idols.

I have a small magnetic sign that says:

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Vermin came with a shift knob for a clock, (no clock) I gound the strap loops from one of Pat's cheep quartz watches & glued it in. Vermin is the BAD ASSED rat car, but still hauls Pat's rubber chicken from when we had Minerva!

My fovorite is "Rilys rest stop ahead. Eat and get gas."
Having some digestion problems, makes it more applicable !!

When I bought my Tudor last year, it had a dashboard hula girl doll on the dash.

It still does.

SURE, Thas easy for you to say!
I second that!

On my dash is a Canada flag magnet from when the car went into Canada. Also a magnet from a meet in the early 80's that my grandparents went to. I forget but there are a couple other things. But my header has some push pins such as my grandparents membership & president pins from MAFCA and a few from different places and tours. My favorite is a button that is stuck through the header with a picture of my grandparents at a Model A club xmas party in 2001. Sure do miss them!

Hey Banky,

We were at Big Daddy Roth's museum (run by his wife) last month with several Model A Clubs. It's in a tiny central Utah town. It is quite the place.

So as not to hijack the thread, I have nothing on the "dash" or the headliner for that matter
