Here's the one I made a couple of years ago and am still using (but need to update too!):
 It's actually a small card (7" x 7") that I prop up inside the lower right windshield. I prefer to use something like this because I think bigger signs detract from a display, esp. if they prevent getting a full view of the car, they can be hazardous if they get loose and, as it was pointed out, very few people bother to read much of what's on them, if at all anyway. But it's still nice to give some basic information as to what exactly it is that you're showing for the truly interested folks.

...and the sign said, long haired, creepy people...do not apply!!!
I (we) like to mention on signs here in Texas that our Mustangs and the display of the vehicle meets all laws and statutes of the Texas Penal Code and Texas Government Code and the authorization to restore the Mustang was authorized by the Director of the Texas DPS.
This cuts down on lots of smart-ass comments and unnecessary questions about the car. Of course, there is still the big dummy that is too lazy to read the sign and goes right to asking the questions. I had a guy walk by my car one time and give me a go-to-hell look and said: "I see what MY tax dollars are going to!!!" And yet, not a penny of his tax money went into my car!!! All because he didn't read the sign.

When we get back to Boise the car will have all the marking's on and be ready for
the show season..... you make a good point Roman in that private (not public) money spent on this project But...people First have to read the sign! My car will be a California car in Idaho so I am almost sure that people will read what ever is on the board/display just because of the (what the Hell) is this about factor? This is probably one of the most fun automotive projects i have done in a while! and I agree with you as you have said in the past.....these cars look great even not restored! I like Michael's Sign it's simple.

I like your sign Roman, esp. the last paragraph. I bet that answers a lot of questions before they get asked! I'm going to incorporate something like that on my updated sign for this show season.

I think that places like Kinkos can put the words on a board if you bring them a cd with what you want on it. But I am no computer expert or anything...
