Re: What do you do for car shows?

Here's a framed display I dreamed up that has worked well. I printed out one sheet (8 1/2 x 11) with the most basic of details of my Packard, with the Packard logo at the top. This allowed me to use a large font size so people don't have to squint. Below the sheet, I have featured an authentic Packard stock certificate from the same year as the car (obtained off of eBay). I bought an inexpensive frame with matting, already cut with two openings in which to mount the two documents. People who drift by seem magnetized by the stock certificate, and I have yet to see anyone else try this idea. Of course, finding a stock certificate issued in the same era as the car becomes increasingly difficult the older the car is. Most I have seen are from the 40's and 50's.
