NC1968Riviera Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Below is the preview for the wall display I ordered from Valley Designs ND. I sent them an Adobe Illustrator file of a graphic I had made of The Aqua Zephyr a couple of years ago. This display won't have the 3-D look of Valley Designs ND's other products, but I think this design will work well, especially with the turquoise LED lights they are putting in it. I will post pictures of the actual wall display once it is received and hung in either my garage or one of my rooms in the house (if mama will let me hang it in the house!) Thanks to @Craig Balzer for sharing his Christmas gift with us. You inspired me to get one too!

NC1968Riviera Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 I received my wall display for The Aqua Zephyr today. To say I am pleased is an understatement! Now to find a place in my garage to mount it! 😊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 A short string of LEDs. Next you'll have it jumpin' on 14" wires and skinny tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet that's easier than you'd think. Look at the 'wall wart' (aka: brick that you plug into the wall) and find out what the output voltage is. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 12 VDC...

My display is the wall mount version, not the desktop version. I used a torpedo level to level the display. I then marked the wall through the pre-drilled holes then I put drywall anchors in the drywall. I then screwed in the supplied mounting hardware to the anchors and attached the display to the mounting hardware. It's a 10 minute job if you already have the right sized drywall anchors, which fortunately, I did.

Craig Balzer Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Surprise! I didn't realize there where options for the stand. I have the desktop version and just couldn't figure out how you wall-mounted thing thing. Now I wonder if they sell the mounts separately??

RivNut Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just curious. Do they also make these in a shadow box? I could be interested in one if they did. Does anyone know if the cars can be etched in a 3D version? It would be neat if I could get all three years in one display in a 3D format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might start something. Valley Designs has a battery box for use of the sign away from it's normal home location. This would be ideal for a desktop display set in the back window of a Riviera at a car show.

telriv Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Easier than a battery hook-up would be to run the 12vlt. hot wire to the trunk light. It has 12vlt. power all the time weather the trunk is open or not. This wire is fused & all that's needed is a proper ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
