Title: Whats this worth?? Post by: DKK Ted on March 28, 2015, 08:10:03 am Have a 1987' Cal Caravan Dash Plaque, when my wife and I went on that caravan in her 68' Cal Looker. But what's the dash plaque worth, just curious... ::)

Title: Re: Whats this worth?? Post by: Donny B. on April 01, 2015, 19:01:26 pm The '87 California Caravan was great. My wife and I did it in my '66 and had a blast. A number of cars didn't make it all the way. I recall seeing a primered Bug dying on the Grapevine. I had no issues at all except for the Highway Patrol trying to control traffic near the end. I didn't know they had dash plaques or I would have bought one. My Caravan T-shirt has long since hit the rag bin. I would say the plaque is worth much more than $20 to someone who made the trip. My guess would be $50-100 for the right person.

Wife and I had a blast, when we all met in that stadium I believe, then the helicopter picture. I think I still have that mag with that pic. Ted Title: Re: Whats this worth??

Didn't know a soul but had a great time nevertheless.
