Default Museum Personalized Interior Plaque Question

So, I got my email from Shane this AM and I am wondering what to put on the plaque.

Initially, I figured that I would put mine and my wife's names but wondered if anyone has done anything different. Plus, how does this work when you go to sell the car?

You can put whatever you want, saying, tribute, name(s), etc. I just went with name. It can be replaced with another one if you sell it. I've seen them for sale.

Because the color of my 2023 is CMG, we named the car and printed The Ghost on the plaque.

Ours was going to be...

SHOULDA BOUGHT A FORD

But the wife didn’t think that was funny so I had our names put on it.

I'm going to buy a blank plaque as soon as I pick up my car, if not before. Seems like a lot of people with a museum delivery would want to do this and you'd think the museum would have blanks for sale on site.

You can get creative on the plaque if you want, within the limits of space available. When you get ready to sell the car, if you want to keep the plaque or just want to give the buyer an option, just buy a blank plaque and install it (or have it in the car for the buyer to get engraved).

Pro tip: if you're going to go with your name don't forget to put the word "for" in lowercase in front of it. In other words ask them to write...

"for John A. Doe"

This way the plaque will read...

Proudly built in Bowling Green Kentucky

for John A Doe

Thank you. Now I know I can put anything on there without worry.

Trying to think of something.

Wished I could afford to go there but the car is going to make me put that off a bit. LOL

I like the idea of naming cars. My brother had a C7 Z06 that he called "The Beast" It was ana appropriate name.

I hear ya. My wife is a Mustang girl. That wouldn't fly here.

Can you just leave it blank?

I'd like to have something other than just my name. Any ideas?

I don't understand the difference. Explain.

Thank you for everyone's input.

I didn't want out names on mine, so I went with Zora's Legacy.

Thank you for the suggestions. Indeed, I would like to put something clever on it rather than just names.

After your Museum Delivery you will be driven out of the museum for pictures. There is a banner above the exit door that says, "Enjoy the Ride". That is what I have on my plaque.

That’s on the short list along with Livin the dream and Born to Thrill.

Kid inheritance - What I told my kids. We do that a lot when we make expensive purchases as a reminder.
Paid In Full - Took me a long time to save for the C8, but worth it in the end.
Long Wait - Yep, 1 year and 6 days from deposit to delivery.
