If there was interest, I'm sure Ragusa would produce those. If Duane was
still with us, he'd make the contact. Does anyone else know them?

The guy (company) that makes the FMCA eggs could do those. The design is
rather simple. If there was enough interest (35 or so) it could be done.
However, he no longer does the raised lettering since the process is more
expensive. They are flat with vinyl lettering overlaid and heated into the
plastic compound.

Wow. That plaque should last longer than any plaque on the teeth of an owner. There must be some profit in there that's of a rather significant degree.

I'd be interested in a Car club type plaque if it could be had for reasonable amount, put my name in, if a list is starting. I also wondered has any one ever made or seen a Bumper sticker that reads "My Other Car is a GMC Motorhome" with the familiar(to us)GMC profile on it. Just thought that would be cool for our daily drivers.

I've noticed that for a long time, but I read right here on the the GMCnet, that EVERYTHING is Dan's fault. We all know if you see it on the internets it's true.

Well Tim, I can take the heat. Just know I can spell and do not use spell check. I do miss a word now and then. Sometimes I can blame it on my fingers running over the keyboard. Other times, well, my mom would not be happy if she was still around. I was her oldest and she worked on my speech and grammar a lot. She never could do much with my accent though. I have a 9 year old grandson that talks just like I do. Drives my daughter nuts. Very Happy He is his grandpa's boy. Learned to drive my vdub at age 7. We did not tell mom, or Teri.

Any casting foundary could cast those plaques all that would be needed if they need to be the same is an original for a pattern, otherwise a new design could be created and different metals could be cast for different levels of prominance.

So, is there any serious interest in getting a plaque made? Then that
brings up the next question; is anyone going to buy one if a plaque were
made? That's where the rubber meets the road.

I can do the scalable artwork all day long. That isn't the problem. Having
committed buyers is the problem.

Good point Byron. For me I would likely buy one if it were in the $10-15 range to display somewhere when parked or at a car show but I would not put one on the back of my coach which I think is already too cluttered with Ohio State stuff, the FMCA plaque, spare wheel, etc.

I would buy one if the price was decent. I suspect I would pay more than most for something like this. But, the retail price would need to be set by the maker so he/she could make a profit and also know if we are willing to pay the price.
I like the one Rob has. Maybe he will place it on the outside of his coach. It might stay here next time he visits and he won't know what happened to it. Laughing

If it was cast aluminum or good quality laminate that would survive I think $30 to $35 would be a good price. Maybe if cast aluminum the price could be kept down with it unpainted and we painted as needed to match the beast it's going on.
