As to me signing cars - -frankly the first time someone asked me to sign their Camaro I was quite taken aback.......

I'm happy and honored to do so, but I also understand why some people don't want signatures -

....I think everyone on the team is happy to sign your car if you wish.
Thanks again, Scott, for signing my car

I'm guessing the OP doesn't own or care about a Mike Judge Lithograph either. Or gives a hoot about a Hall of Famer Lou Brock signed baseball.

It's memorabilia. Plain and simple. It may not be worth anything to YOU, but to me, it's priceless.

Yea, I was kicking myself after I left the Riverfront show in DE. I should have had you sign my ride.

Ah, ok. There you go. Figured you'd come around once you saw how cool it was to have Scott and Al sign your car! They don't cost anything except a little of their time, and it's usually a discussion starter at other car shows/events.

Trust me, it's a personal taste thing, but once they sign your car, you'll dig it every time you open the hood.

I wouldnt even have let Carroll Shelby sign my car if it was a Shelby, The window sticker, yes. The car?, No.

I met Bill Ford in 2007 when I lived in California and I was buying a Mustang at a Ford dealer in Palm Springs and he was there. I did not let him sign my car. I had him sign the Mustang Brochure, thats good enough for me. The Mustang is gone but I will always have his signature.

Im not a fan of the signature trend... But those of you who are.... you are missing the most important people... THE DESIGNERS.
Not to take anything away from the signatures you have, as there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people who have helped bring this car to market (product planners, sculptors, engineers, manufacturing, marketing people, etc).... It starts with the designers. They are the ones who made our hearts melt when we first laid eyes on the 5th gen Camaro. In my opinion, those are the signatures worth having.

Ed Welburn (VP of Design), Tom Peters (Design Director), Sangyup Lee (Exterior), Micah Jones (Interior), just to name few of the many who helped craft the beauty we all know and love...

If you see/hear any of those names at a car show, you better come running with your pen in hand!
