Just curious, what else is on the poster besides pics of the car? I mean, the car is actually there to look at. The poster with scanned photos is just a distraction.
No need to "sell" your car. The Stang itself is cool enough on its own right. Don`t get caught up in the clutter. If you have lots of mods or an interesting history or a list of previous awards then make a small framed or laminated placecard.
Call me uptight or old school, but I think the cleaner the display the classier. :nixweiss

Right now people are just passing by my car... It`s bone stock, sitting in the middle of cars like origional GT500`s, New Cobra`s, Lightnings, ect.... I have little $$, and ford is a pain about mods, so I am saving until I get out of 36k miles (only about 3 more k)... It`ll soon be competing against my buddies 67 Sunbeam Tiger (powered by ford, so it can enter)
I gotta find a way to get people to look at mym car, ,and the judges to pay more attention to the cleanliness....

Ok, I see what you`re up against. I am still a proponent of letting the car speak for itself but one thing a couple guys did at the European Car Show was to put mats under their cars to "frame" the car. No signs or babes, just the mat.
Mat under a MINI. (http://www.fototime.com/560D9E179E0FFE4/standard.jpg)
Or bring the babe to the event and hand her a microfiber towel and some quick detailer. Kill two birds at once. ;)

I would not use any pics with "eye candy" in them. The sign is supposed to showcase the car, nothing else. Your at a car show, not a fashion show. Plus, IMO it looks tacky.

I have to concur with Brad on this one. The last thing that a judge wants to see is your car with girls etc. That may be fine for some type of import show but for a concours event I am sure its frowned upon.
Here is the car poster that I have next to my car at shows. It has various pics of the car, my name, and a list of modifications to the vehicle. Its very plain and simple. I even made the easel and put an old horn button Z logo on it as a nice final touch.

Umm not to be a dink but that "eye candy" leaves me with a sour stomach. Try class.
