Theme Cars
Just saw bobpo's 1930 Police car & was wondering how many more "theme" cars are out there. My 29 Tudor is set up like the early 1940's. Front plate has a vintage farm co-op topper, back plate has a vintage "V" for victory reflector topper & have several repo decals on the windows such as gas ration, Remember Pearl Harbor & War loan drive stickers.

Re: Theme Cars
Leadpot,
Where did you get the decals, and where they aged already? Or, have they been on the car for awhile? Mike

Re: Theme Cars
Found the decals on ebay. Can't remember what category, try looking in ww2 - homefront or just do a general search. I din't age them that is the way they came.

Re: Theme Cars
Mac's (and others) sell WWII Gasoline Ration Decals for your WWII era Ford automobile. Take a look on page 278 of Macs current catalog.

Re: Theme Cars
In our club we have 2 Taxis, one dressed like NYC, the other Chicago. And we also have a "Fire Truck" built out of a 31 roadster PU, complete with hoses, ladders, lights, sirens, etc.

Love of Tennessee and moonshine (not necessarily in that order) has created a monster already for my ride. Will have a license tag saying "uphold the 18th amendment" (no 'shiner woulda wanted it repealed!) and in the back are two brown jugs wrapped in burlap and sitting in a wooden dynamite box, a second box contains a vintage milkman's delivery basket filled with 1/2 gallon mason jars full of... some clear liquid. |

Re: Theme Cars
"uphold the 18th amendment" Love It! We've been known to keep a little copper around here in Northern New England as well! "Live Free or Die!"

A 'shiner may want to use a little reverse psychology and have a tag that says "repeal the 18th Amendment. I get a lot of comments about moonshine when I drive my 31 pickup around. Does this qualify as a theme car? |
