It certainly does!

nvrbdn make sure those speakers are secured as well as her headlights, otherwise a speaker will get knocked off and you know what it will hit!  :brickwall:

On my 60 Plymo which is a rat car, I make sure to keep a healthy supply of cig wrappers, empty shotgun shell boxes, Easy Rider magazines, and crumpled beer cans on the floor boards.

I occasionally clean this stuff out of my other cars   :icon_smile_cool:

If no rain , I put Coyote under front tire.
Had 1 young girl crying last year.
And asked me why Scrat the Squirrel was under the tire. :rotz:

Generally avoid having too much on or around the cars.  Especially anything that can fall or be moved into the car or someone elses.   
Negative on the huge signs.     Leave your past car show trophies at home.   

Especially not a fan of those crying children leaning against the bumper.   

Drive in restaurant schtick does work on late 50's cars or woodies.   

The point is,  "don't over do it".   :2thumbs:

  Yep, I have never added extras when showing. seen several cars with the extras including model kits etc....  Had the drive in speakers and the serving trays  (which were supposed to be in the movie room with the 56 buick couch I am building) but wondered what they would look like for a show. after the reply's I think best to keep them for the movie room. :yesnod:

For an indoor Car Show such as AutoRama I display a professionally prepared sign that provides details about the car, and sometimes an old parking meter mounted on a section of pipe with a base secured to the floor.
For outdoor shows nothing but the car.

I agree with AERO426 about previously won awards, leave them home.

And might I suggest any Crybaby dolls still in existence be torched.

:iagree: So glad that fad has died off (mostly). They were funny the first year or so, but got lame quickly.

I'd rather see the hot chick prop that was posted earlier, a guy doesn't do it for me. ;D

I would like to see kicking those stupid crying kid dolls for distance become a thing at car shows.

What idiot thought "Yeah, this looks good, but you know what would REALLY set this car off? A crying toddler hunched against the bumper..."

Don't believe I've seen those. It would be fun to have a supply of those then place them next to some of the GM and Ford cars at car shows.   :icon_smile_big:

This prop works the best...

:iagree:

I have seen cars with the trunks open and an album of the car's restoration with a factory brochure and may some small props, jackets, oil can's old tools, etc. Those are ok. But, anything else detracts from the car in my opinion. Years ago I remember seeing a guy with a '50's convertible that had a pair of cheerleader legs sticking up out of the back seat. Now that was funny.

I made up a sign for my car with some of it's street racing history and old pics. I mounted it in a 5 gal bucket filled with concrete so that it (hopefully) won't get knocked over. I recently found a stack of tickets that I'd received back in the day and thought I'd display them. But, they are yellow carbon copies and don't show well. Maybe I'll scan them in see if I can manipulate them somehow.  

Below is a pic of the car at Carlisle last year. The blank spot in the middle is the write-up but the flash hid it.

That one flew over your head Lennard lol.

A12 Superbee's focus point was the hood props on his 69 Bee and not of him.

At least that's what I got out of it.
