Car Show Display Card

I'm looking for ideas for a display card to set in front of my car at car shows and a method to display it. Does anyone have a great example? My car is a '67 442 convertible.

If you are adept at using Photoshop, you can create your own, and then take the file of the image to the print shop at Staples and they will print it on foam core for less than $40. Attached is the sign I made for my car using Photoshop:

I find using a chrome guitar stand with a counterweight attached to the bottom works well. Chrome is cool and with a little engineering, it can be adapted to hold any of the above mentioned signs. It comes apart as well for relative ease of storage.
