Well, I for one kinda like the magnetic plaques.   They mold themselves
perfectly to a late glovebox door and dash.   The '67 500 coupe is
collecting a few these days.

As mentioned earlier, I'm gonna make my own, based on the Lex Nats logo and
stick it on the glovebox beside the others.    It may be unofficial but it
will fill the slot.   


>Not trying to be judgemental or critical, just unusual for any national
car club event. 

I'm not judging either.   The laack of a daash plaack ;) is the least of
the things compared to all the good stuff that happened at Lexington.     

>Perhaps Convention Chairmen should take note of this discussion  

Oh, you can bet they already have...    

Meanwhile:    An extra Pizza Hut fridge magnet gets peeled apart, a scanned
logo of the Lex Nats gets printed off onto photo paper, some spray-on
contact cement, and there we are.    The empty spot on the glove box door
is good to go.    


...and the other guys among RVCC (local chapter) who aren't on VV who
attended Lex will be asking why *they* didn't get a plaack.
