I have a small pile of plaques that I have collected for years . . . but really they just sit in a bag on my shelf where no one can see them.  Looking for ideas on what to do with them?  Mount them on the garage wall or something?

I had over 200 of those at one time....not sure where they're at now....Do they still do those at Carlisle ?

Yep in the goody bag . . . just added my new one to the collection and that is how this thread came up . . .  :dunno:

The easy thing to do would be...arrange them in a frame and hang them in the garage.  Leave some blank spaces so you add to it.  I've got a nice little collection of them to.  Like you, they are in a box somewhere.

I always take one of the rockauto magnetic business cards that come in those goody bags and stick 'em to the back of the plaque and then put it on the refrigerator.  But then we moved and honestly I don't know where the ones from the past 9 years are!   :notsure:

I guess I could also stick them onto this cool cabinet I have...

I stick them to the side of my tool box.  I get to see them and it doesn't waste any wall space.

Mopar Performance stickers on one side of one of my toolboxes and plaques on the other side works for me.

Great idea but I already have all the stickers all over the tool box!   :huh:  I guess I will just screw them onto the dash in the car!  They are dash plaques anyways . . .  :drunk:

Let me borrow the car and the plaques and I'll take care of it for you!  Should have the job done in, 2-3 years...   :haha:

For now sticking everything I get to the underside of the rear trunk lid to display from there when open.
When and if it gets too full may transfer some to a wall frame of some kind for a non mobile more open display.

You usually get them from car shows or cruises.  I have several from Carlisle, I have one from the Pittsburgh Mopar Group's car show back in 2015, and only one (ironically) from the Viper Club of America when they did a covered bridge tour in 2009.

I was attending one of those all different types of car shows one time. I happened upon a real nice '70 big block Chevelle SS. Was checking it out engine bay, interior and the restored trunk. Then noticed he had put all of his dash plaques under his trunk lid. Not my cup of tea, but obviously his. Outside of that nice Chevy.    Thanks,   Al
