Car Club Plaque Photos?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Bullet Nose, Feb 2, 2008.

  1. In looking through the 39 Gear Grinders plaque patterns I have from Speed Gems and Chicago Metal Craft. I noticed that a few of them have the same cartoon guy on them. Can someone tell me who this character was? I know I've seen him before but I can't recall his origin.

  2. Here are three other versions of that character:

    Club out of Chicago, circa 1956 called SHAUNDOS--CHICAGO----Had a chopped 50 Ford convert with carson top as a logo. Maybe 25 members at it's peak. I believe the plaques were made through Warsawski Auto Parts in Chicago. ANYONE??? BILL RINALDI

    I posted this one in Vintage Shots; it's an ad from the 1953 Mark Keppel High School yearbook:

  13. BTW,
    For those that didn't know it, Koehler Foundry made all of the plaques that were sold by Stylized Emblem of Los Angeles. They were more of a sports paraphernalia company who manufactured T-shirts, jackets and other stuff for clubs and sports teams.
    I wonder what the political atmosphere was between the two companies in 1953 when Koehler ran this ad with that line "Buy direct from the manufacturer and save money."???

    Anyone heard of the fugitives out of south gate?
     
  17. So there was a father who used to tell his son bedtime stories about his hero named Notnek who did all sorts of good deeds, heroic things, right and just things so his son had someone to look up to and act as a mental guide while growing up. It wasn't till later in his life that the son realized who that person was. That's what I was told by the guy that ordered the plaques - Kenton (McKay) :)

    From Westport, CT. Supposedly the actor Michael Douglas was a member in the late 50s or early 60s.
     
  22. We are thinking of starting a club on eastern shore Maryland but we can't think of a name that hasn't already been used.

    Someone sent me this photo and asked if I knew anything about the club based in Long Beach, CA .....

    [​IMG]
    It appears to have had something attached in the center at one time. Perhaps a member's number, name or office the owner held in the club. Has anyone heard of this club or know what may have been attached?

    Was this also one of their plaques or did someone make it up because they had a bike?
