Offering an original signed design drawing of a Dodge Challenger concept car by Ric Carell. Carell is noted for his work on the Dodge Charger and other Mopar models. A truly stunning piece of history that would look great framed and displayed The drawing measures approximately 11" by 24" Condition: See photos for exact condition. This drawing is on thin paper and has wrinkling / creasing throughout including corner bends and some rough edges. There are staple holes along the edges which is common on original design art as these pieces were pinned up for design review. Professional matting / framing would hide most of the wear.

Offering an incredible collection of over 75 metal printing plates used in the production of newspapers, programs or similar material. Almost all feature racing drivers and cars which appear to be a mix of Stock Car and Midget racing. Some really incredible images. These look to be 1940s or 1950s era but they are sold as-found and I am not sure of the history. These plates would be awesome to re-purpose into art, furniture, wall accents, etc. Alternatively, they are great to display as-is. Each is a different size but the smaller driver images are around 1 3/4" by 3" and the larger plates are approximately 3 1/2" by 4" Condition: See photos for exact condition. Condition varies greatly on these - some are unused and have very clean, clear images. Others have been heavily used and are ink stained / difficult to see the image.

Thank you! I think you're right that this is a Grand Marquis badge - I really appreciate the quick reply Regards, Mike

Hoping that someone here can help identify the badge attached. This was included in a large collection of original car badges from the 1920s to 1980s. It appears to be a Lincoln badge but I have not seen one previously with the wreath design around the edges and crown on top. I don't see a printed part number. Thanks, Michael

Very interesting - thanks! Curious how it ended up in Canada....

Thanks everyone for your responses! Very interesting This piece was in a local online downsizing auction - All auction items are sold as-is with only a few photos and minimal description. Based on the uncertainty, I chose not to bid. It sold for $130 Canadian for anyone interested - not sure if this was a good deal Thanks again! Mike

Hi, Hoping a license plate expert can help provide more info on the piece attached - it looks to be very old. The plate is located in Ontario, Canada but it's possible that it could be from anywhere in the world Does anyone know the year and city / state / country where this would have been used? Thanks in advance, Michael

Thanks everyone! Appreciate your thoughts and info. This isn't my item - just a piece I came across for sale locally and was curious to know the history. I did think that it looked a bit crudely done to be a factory item but wasn't sure
