Pretty much every FCCA rally included a dash plaque. Typically, dash plaques were issued to some specified number of entrants on a first come first served basis. Dash plaques were also often given to those placing in a rally, the rally master, and others earning a special distinction. Below is a slide show of some of the plaques that were issued at FCCA rallies. Thanks to former FCCA members John Taylor, Tachi Shimoyama, Bruce Carnachan, Doug Worthy, Dale Deem, and many others for their generous donations of dash plaques and dash plaque images. These dash plaques are not only artistic creations, they also offer a glimpse of the many chapters of the FCCA. The slide show begins with the most iconic dash plaque of all, that for the 1952 Palm Springs Road Races. Next is a small collection of miscellaneous plaques I’ve affixed to the dashboard of my Sprite. From there, the slide show includes FCCA dash plaques in order of date. I have historic dash plaques from other clubs across the USA and I will post these as time permits.
If you have FCCA dash plaques or photos of dash plaques you would like to pass on to the archives, please contact us.
I also have this RS dash plaque – Lasst train to Milipitas. The other Par Plaques on this mounting board appear to be from events from the SF Bay area. ONe looks to be an SCCA plaque. the jpg identifier says Norcal4 indicating this came from a NCRT (Northern Calif Rallye Team) member.
These dash plaques were photographed by John Taylor and submitted to the FCCA archives.
As soon as I can find my board I will take photos of my plaques from the late 60’s in the Bay Area. Former member of the Wandering Wheels Motoring Club. Oh the memories.
Thanks, Dennis! I’m looking forward to seeing the photos of your collection. BTW, I will add you to the notification list I use whenever I add material to the web site.

Bill…I will be going through a bunch of boxes later this year filled with old sports car trophies. If my memory serves me correctly, I think one of them has a FCCA plaque which I will send you a photo of for your website. Don’t let me forget this!
