Default Car Show Boards

I’m thinking of entering my car into the Boston World of Wheels car show. I certainly don’t plan on winning anything but figure it’ll be a good time. Does anyone have any suggestions on creating a relatively inexpensive car show board/poster? Ones online start around $190 and up. That’s pretty steep..thank you.

I plan on buying a display stand for this summer car shows also! I'd like one that is 11 x 17, rotates for vertical or horizontal, and a tilt would be nice too.

I'm interested in this one:

I don't know their price yet. I'd like to find something under $100.

Let me know what you come up with. The ones I’ve found range from $190 to over 400... I’d rather spend that kind of money on the car itself!

Maybe work with a local printer, designer, vehicle wrap type person and see if you can bring em some high res pictures and info on your car and they can print it all out on one quality photo paper and frame it in a cheap Walmart frame and find an old art easel at goodwill or something. My boss made a photo album and places it on the wheel of his rat rod a shows and has a little 11x17" before and after picture next to it.

Why not put something together yourself and have staples or office max put it on poster board and then frame it as suggested?

We might. But I like the look for of a simple stand like above, for my own stuff to be printed and swapped out at will.

You could fab something up pretty easy for a stand I'm sure. Find a retail store that's going out of business, they sell EVERYTHING. Pick up one of their metal displays. Or buy one of these and put something as a backer to keep your print stable.
