So I found all these model a plaques…

Do any of these mean anything to anyone? Long story short I got carried away on a local auction and bought a bin of model a parts. I’m a later Ford guy so no idea if any of this means anything or if it has value. Not really looking to sell. I’d rather look at it cause it’s cool. What is this stuff? I can’t imagine they’d be repo (except the blank firewall tag). From the 60’s.

The Yuma tour was pretty legendary. Looks like you bought parts from someone that lived in Arizona or Southern California at one point.

Those are original, probably not worth anything but the memories.

Those are original old car show dash plaques. I see a repo ID tag, etc. Dash Plaques were very common and popular until around 2010 or so. Few clubs and shows still do them, but not as common as they were in years past.

I have sold and received dozens of these with parts and car sales over the years.

There is small value with the early ones to certain “Niche” collectors. Guarantee you that there will be some hard core Club guys that would be interested in those.

I’ve seen some of the early ones for the Model T Ford Club go for $100+, Speedster and the Signal Hill Climb bringing a premium.

But, realistically they are just interesting and nice to display.
