<VV> Re: dash plaque

[Ron F Hinz]

The Northwest Econo-run was just last month and we had nice colored dash
plaques courtesy of a local Chevrolet dealer.  His name/logo appear 7/16"
high in a corner.  It was a happy deal.  They also paid for all of the
trophies and the only hitch on that was that they were apparently done by an
immigrant and a trophy or two were for cars with a manuel transmission.
