History CAR CLUB PLAQUES

Thanks to Autojunkie for these photos he sent for my site .....









​

 

anyone in San Francisco know this ?

 

Don't know anything about the club but do know that Dennis O'Brien has the original pattern for that plaque so my best guess is that it was around in the 50's or 60's.

 

Another Plaque Surfaced...

 

O'Brien Truckers...it's a original .. was just wondering...

 

This one I found last fall

The one I'll run at the moment. There is whole group of clubs that were involved in the Tacoma Timing Assoc. This one was active in the late 50's at Stadium High School in Tacoma Washington when my dad went there. Something intrinsically funny about a spud on wheels.

 

I've been talking with Dennis and he is going to do the plaques for our club, Tri- City Rod & Custom, about time our club will be 47 years old next years. HRP

 

The Wipers Appears To Be One Of A Kind And I Have Been A Student Of The Hot Rod History In Pocatello For 52 Years...Thanks For Your Good Work Bullet Nose...

 

Here's our plaque. Started by 4 friends.

 

few more from my collection... KIMP KRUISERS anyone ?

 

Rob, I like that Clutcher's plaque It's really cool.

 

I was hoping you would know if Kimp is a town or if KIMP stands for something.

 

Only local club that would let me join.

 

That is awesome!!

 

O’Brien’s Truckers casts ours! Top notch

 

Nope did some research, nothing comes up...it was pretty cool..loved the Cadillac on it.

 

thought you would like this one..since you had rpu..from what Bruce D. told me they were based in Ballard area of Seattle..two members were well know drag racers .

 

I'm surprised that no one has been able to give me any info on this Throttle Stompers, Long Beach plaque, I've had it 40yrs but no one here in Oz has had any idea...............is it the club that the Valley Custom guys and Dean Batchelor belonged to?.............any comments?...........thanks Andy Douglas.

 

I received a package from Dennis O'Brien today and it contained all the plaques he made for our club, after almost 47 years we finally got plaques. HRP

 

Here's one I purchased, as you see it, in Davenport Al. For $5.00. The guy hauled scrap metal, and said it was off of a weird looking old chevy. He had no other history, and all my reserch has come up blank.

My wife got this one for me a few years back, for Christmas. Im pretty sure its a fairly new casting.

There was a Kingsmen Car Club in Mobile, Alabama, but it's not the same plaque.

If you look on Dennis O'Briens site he list 40 Kingsmen plaques and you might find where it came from if your willing to spend the time looking.

This is the link, good luck! HRP

Someone sent me this photo for my website but I have no idea if Pistol Bird is a town or if it means something else. Can anyone fill me in about this Grifters plaque? .....

​

 

You just sent an email about the Riffs plaque. I posted a picture of it on the board 2-5(?) years ago. Will do a search but still have it and can post in the next day or 2.

 

Thanks to B Ward for sending this photo for my site .....

Calling the grammar police.............................

 

Here's a plaque that 40ragtopdown posted on another thread about finding the owner of his 40 Ford Convertible. It's a great story about his old custom.
