Art & Inspiration What to do with stickers from car shows?

Garage is my territory, roadsters shows and brewery stickers.

 

SERE school, huh? Warner Springs or up in Maine?

 

SERE magnet belonged to a late family member.

 

No beer fridge....out grew that many years ago.

 

A thread about stickers on my beer fridge, you gotta be kidding me.
I see the title to the OP's post has been changed.

 

No stickers I'm more classy than that.

 

Paintslinger... very cool fridge.

 

I give them away at my swap meet space

 

Thank you it's a bull and a goat.

 

Just getting started Huh???

 

Wish I had a picture. When my boys were in High School, their auto shop teacher took the kids to the Winternational in Pomona. Oh when Rick got to his car to go home, there wasn't a spot on his car that wasn't covered with a sticker or decal....Boy was he pissed. Took him half an hour to get enough stickers off to see the road...I'm still chuckling...

 

I recently sold my house of 30 years, my wife asked me what the heck was I doing taking the door off my old garage, let the new owner put on a new door. I said I am taking this with me and now it is awaiting its duty to be the new shop door. Took a lot of years to get this patina.

 

Well, everybody knows they go on your tool storage lockers!

 

'HAMB' Content has surely gone to hell..

 

And some replies to said threads. JW

 

Looks like you have a Pee Wee Herman action figure - "Movie Theater " version from the position of his hand.

 

Some I just give away, kids love stickers. Obviously some big kids do too.....

 

I carry some with me and every time I see a police car parked at a doughnut shop I stick one on their rear bumper. My best one so far was, Keep honking I'm reloading,

 

the side door to my garage is where all my Dash Plaques are mounted

 

Hello FVS,
Very cool kid's booster seat? It certainly is a traditional, car related, sticker plasted, on topic photo. Great photo and set up. I tried a sticker or two on our granddaughter's similar seat, they were boo boos from the other half.

But, back when my son was little, there were no booster seats, so I made one out of 2x4 redwood, coated it with polyurethane. it sat under his regular child safety seat so he could see out of the car. (no airbags, so the kids could sit in front an look out at the big world)

It has lasted up to now as a step stool for him to brush his teeth and 30 years after that time period, my grand daughter used it for a sturdy step stool to use the same sink. She also used it for a small play table when she was sitting on the ground. For my son, it was Moon eyeball stickers at first, but they rubbed off over time and usage.

Today, it sits under a wastebasket in the garage to make the throw-in, tall, basket easier to toss in various items, mostly car related left overs, etc. 39 years of use and memories...But, it still serves a purpose...Stickers? No way in this household if the other half sees it around...styling, etc...

I still get a lot of stickers when I can and they all go to the various grandchildren and neighborhood kids. I am sure the local teachers get tired of seeing car stickers on their school notebooks...nothing has changed in 62 years of school notebooks !

 

I'm with Pistnbroke, back side of the shop door.

 

Good one Unclean! Something similar a decade or 2 back, no stickers on me, but I had a black marker and blacked-out the "C" on a "Click it or ticket"........on a police car.

 

I,m running out of room.

 

The OP posted about stickers from car shows. Stickers are usually advertisements from vendors or manufacturers. Never been to a car show where they handed out stickers. Usually at a car show they give you some type of a dash plaque. Had a bag with over 200 dash plaques which I immediately sold on the HAMB Classifieds right after listing them.

HA HA I wanted see how long it took for some one to see that.

 

My one at work.

 

I'm liking that "modified" Gander Mountain sticker.

 

Generally just throw them in a drawer never to be seen again. I did pick up a 50th Anniversary MOKAN sticker back in 2012. I just put it on the rear window of the '29 yesterday. Happened to find it in that drawer mentioned earlier and was like "man that's a cool sticker".

 

I've been sticking them to the never ending sports schedule fridge magnets that show up in the mail and trimming to size.

Now I've got a ton of hotrod magnets instead of stickers

 

I frame dash plaques and hat pins. My earliest dash plaque is 1970. If I put all of my hat pins on a hat it would weigh ten pounds!
