Making a Great Impression with Show Car Boards For most car show enthusiasts, a car show board is a “must have” for anyone who really wants to create a unique and personal car show display. In the past, car show boards have been a pricey investment for the car show hobbits. The time that it takes to hire a sign painter to hand paint custom car show boards can take weeks, and costs a small fortune when all is said and done. All in the name of highlighting a car’s features, or sharing the story behind a car.
But up until recently, a photographic show car board has taken car show boards to a level of customization never seen before. Gary Hedlin, owner of ShowCarSign.com has been the one behind this car show board revolution. A graphic designer by trade, but a true car guy at heart, Gary’s unique designs have re-defined what a car show board should be. Instead of just text and simple logos, the car show boards produced by Show Car Sign feature images, rich colors, pictures of the car at street view, or just about anything a car owner would want on a custom car show board. “It all started when I started showing off my 1998 Dodge Dakota back about 2002. I wanted to make a show car board that didn’t just highlight what I did to the truck, but showed what the truck looked like with the hood down, because it was blasphemy not to have your hood up at a car show!” Gary said. “I tried a few things over the next few years, but it was hard to get the combination of a good looking car show board and a show car board that would hold up to just about anything.”
