Default My Dad's Xmas gift.arrived

My Dad talked about his old car club plaque from 1956 , and He found an add in a car mag.LINK: http://www.obrientruckers.com/ Over 12,000 plaque's I looked and found his club plaque,they make copy's for $40 + shipping but he say's that's to much for plaque. So I ordered one for xmas to give him my wife say's Iam crazy .. It arrived the other day here is a pic from the web site.. The money I spent on plaque was cheap , he gave me the vette for free..

Your dad should be pleased. Us old guys (is 49 old? Not sure but some days it feels ancient) want our old cars back. Not because they were great cars but because of the memories. You can't put a price on memories. Gregg

That's cool. My father in law is a member of a club here in MI that is from the 50's and still has several original members. The memories that plaque will bring will be priceless jerry.

That's really cool, Jerry. There's no doubt in my mind that your Dad will treasure it.
