I just found my father’s, William P. Dornisch, dash plaques from the Santa Monica Rally D’Oro (7-21-57). When I was little, I seem to remember a trophy like this around the house.
I’ll have to check the rest of his boxes.

Hi Walton. Yes, Rally d’oro was a huge event. I have a copper plated bowl that served as a trophy for this event. I also have a complete set of Check Point newsletters published by the Santa Monica FCCA.
