"Radioflyer's 1997 Coupe" is difficult to read. First rule of a sign: it needs to be readable.
Perhaps instead of the dark shadow . . . a blurred one.
Bigger letters would also help.

FYI - The laptop will likely be hard to see in the sunlight. Also, it will have people leaning into your trunk to get a better look. No big deal if you aren't **** about that.
My last show sign had lots of text like yours. I'm still thinking through a redo to eliminate most of the text and hit a few highpoints. I had always hoped people would read the sign, but only a few did at each show.
I'll be at the SHCC and COCH shows. Hope to see you out there.

I like the sign with the larger text.. but.. at a show, I would get bored about 1/2 to 3/4 way through and not read the whole sign anyway. If I can't read it from a little distance, I'm probably going to be standing in the way of others trying to get a peek to read the whole thing.
If you can cut back on some of the text it may be better.
It is a cool looking sign, though.
