What to Put on a Car Show Board: A Simple Guide
Wondering what to put on a car show board? Start with your car’s make, model and year, then choose the specifications and ownership details that visitors will find interesting. A clear board gives people a way to enjoy your car’s story while you chat with other owners.
Your car. Your details. Your story.
Some cars mean more than a way to get from A to B. They are a first set of keys, a restoration that took years, or a project you are still making your own. A WardCraft car information board gives that story a place alongside the car itself.
Our metal car specification signs bring together car artwork and vehicle details in a compact, freestanding display. Choose a ready-made design celebrating a favourite model, or create a personalised car show board featuring your own car, registration and chosen wording.
Includes FREE stand.
What should you include on a car show board?
The personalised car show specification metal sign is £10 and measures 150 × 200 mm in portrait format. It features your supplied car photo, registration wording and the details you want people to know.
Perhaps you want to celebrate a carefully restored classic, explain the modifications on your project car, or remember the car you wish you had never sold. You choose the story to tell.
Details you can send include:
- Make, model and year
- Your registration, exactly as you want it displayed
- Engine details and specifications
- Modifications and personal touches
- A short ownership or restoration history
Choose the details that matter most to keep the finished board clear and easy to read. Use a short heading, group related specifications together and double-check figures against your own vehicle’s records, especially if it has been modified.
Prepare your information board before the show
- Pick a clear photograph that shows your car well.
- Check names, registration wording and specifications before sending them.
- Keep the main details concise so visitors can read them easily.
- Plan a stable display position, away from walkways, and follow the event organiser’s display rules.
