Here’s one on our ‘27 touring, state topper.

California State Automobile Association on my Olds.

One of my favorites. Fits your car to a T.

My fav

I’d trade this original for a similar condition South Carolina topper. Off topic, but I’d sure like to see more of that sexy front end, Dan!

De-fund the bureaucrats... REPEAL THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT!

I got some toppers from sources I can't remember now. Possibly Ebay? They are WW2 era, appropriate for my 1939 Caddie Coupé.

looking for something period correct for my headlight bar.

An International Order of Odd Fellows and a new/repro American flag. WWII I know but it has the right number of stars and looks good against the black and it centers nicely on the car.

Not as old as some but older than some I'm guessing 40's- 50's. Jim

Not mine, but I am a cat lover:

Haven't seen Detroit represented yet.....

The Detroit Automobile Club was established in 1916. Over the years, the club arranged auto tours, lobbied for motorist-friendly legislation, promoted road and highway improvements, and encouraged tourism in Michigan. By the 1920s it became the AAA of Michigan (as shown in the brass radiator badge) and is now part of the Auto Club Group.

AAA emblem that had been on a friend's 1920s-era Marmon. He had sold the car but kept the emblem, and he gave it to me only on the condition that I put it on the T. The Masonic S&C was sent to me by a friend in Paris.

Nancy Mize makes new old toppers.

They're on the Coil Doctor website. https://www.coildoctor.com/shop--cart

Those who attended the 2016 MTFCI summer tour of the Finger Lakes Region headquartered in Auburn, NY might recognize Elbridge NY.
My grandfather was a Ford man during the Model T era and MacCollum in Elbridge, NY is where he purchased his cars. I have two photos of his cars. One a 1913 Touring and the other a black touring much like my ‘20
This topper is NOS and has never been on a car, I have six of them still in the paper wrapper, guess I need to get five more model T’s !

Here's a local "booster" topper from our city of Edmonton.

The license plate may be of of some interest... the stamped EX-31-3-48 identifies this as a 1947 plate as is the car, a 1947 Dodge Canadian-built using the Plymouth body shell and mechanicals. Alberta vehicle registrations expired on the last day of March until 1984, when we switched to rolling monthly expiries (alphabetically).

You know darn well I've been trying not to do this ...but here are some plate toppers

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I admire your restraint Perry.
