My dad always had his special badge (a winged, St. Christopher Be My Guide) on the tranny hump of every car he ever owned. I wonder where his is now (he died 10 years ago).

THAT'S COOL. NICE FIND!

MY 2+2 HAS SOME SORT OF CURLY WICKER TYPE OF THING STUCK UP BY THE MIRROR. THE FELLOW I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE CAR BLESSED AND THAT WAS PLACED THERE. HE LEFT IT THERE AFTER HE BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE LEFT IT THERE AS WELL. NOT QUITE SURE WHAT IT REPRESENTS, BUT IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, AND I DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH THE POWERS THAT BE...

I just noticed a signature by the front wheel of the car, can't really read it in person and it shows up better in this picture

My Mom always had a magnetic one on her dashboard. (Although it didn't have a car on it like yours does. Very cool!)
