Legacy Graphic Design
I met Mike at the MCACN (Muscle Car And Corvette Nationals) show in Chicago, Illinois. He was very interested in the 1966 GTO race card that I had on display. We discussed the history of the car, and I learned that he designed show posters for interesting vehicles. At the show, my car was invited to the GTO nationals in Bristol Tennessee in June 2025. In late March I called Mike and asked if he would be interested in doing the show posters for the convention. He quickly agreed and we began the process. I was immediately impressed with Mike's interest in the car. Within a couple of days, he had researched the car online and found pictures that I had not seen. He read articles about the car and proposed some ideas for the show posters. Mike is enthusiastic and has great ideas. The whole process took about a month and the final result is amazing. I am very happy with the end product and look forward to setting up the display at the convention. Finally, the price that he charges is very reasonable for the time and effort that he puts into the final product.
I highly recommend Mike, and Legacy Graphic Design, to anyone that wants to tell the story of their car and enhance their car’s presence at shows and events.

Working with Mike has been a very pleasurable experience. He is attentive, conscientious and eager to learn about the cars themselves.
I think everyone will enjoy the process as much as I have.

By luck I met Mike of Legacy Graphic Design on the same day I bought the car for which I ended up having him make a poster. His design was striking, and he was in frequent communication to make sure the end product was just as I wanted.
Because of the small-ish size of my car I had him make the poster in two sizes, one for my garage and one for traveling to car shows. Both posters are of top quality, and designed to hold up if caught in the rain. And the posters came with the best designed easel stand I have ever seen.

I engaged Legacy Graphic Design to research and design at least a half-dozen show posters for my some of my cars in my collection including exotics, muscle, classics from the 1950’s through the late 90’s. The posters were of excellent quality being made of weather resistant materials and provided with well-designed easel stands. I attend many shows and collector car auctions every year and have to say these posters are the best designed product I have seen over the years. The posters described historical background of the cars, equipment features and rarity assessments, providing the event participants and judges with useful information that make the cars standout. The artist works with the car owner to provide an individual customized presentation of information, graphics, photos and colors that makes each poster unique. My ’50 Merc Lead Sled shown at the 2023 Colorado Nationals Good Guys show along with its poster won Best Custom and Top 10 awards out of 2000 cars. I’m certain the show poster helped illustrate to the judges the uniqueness of the car. I plan to have Mike at Legacy Graphic Design prepare show signs for the remaining cars in the collection this year. I highly recommend Legacy Graphic Design to prepare your show posters.

I have two signs done by Legacy Graphic Design. Mike’s ability to create wonderful descriptions with minimal effort on my part was most appreciated. His ability to write well is equally matched by his design skills.
It is not an exaggeration to say that when I display the signs he created next to my cars, they are instantly elevated from a collectable car to a show car. The quality of the sign material is first class as well.

Working with Mike has been such a rewarding experience. He helped us design a sign that represents the family history of our car. I am so excited to show the sign off to everyone at car shows. His product quality is 1st class excellence.
I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for show signs for their cars.

Mike was great to work with and the process was very easy. His knowledge and expertise in editing both the narrative and pictures were amazing. I am very happy with the end product. It was a pleasure to work with him on this project.
I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone looking for show signs for their cars.

Testimonials
It is an honor and privilege to be trusted by car owners to tell the story of some of their most prized possessions. Our ultimate goal is to express the core elements of what makes the car so special, enabling others to understand the owner’s passion for the car. It is so rewarding to hear when we have ‘hit the mark’ with owners. This is why we do what we do.
Working with Mike regarding a sign for my Blown 1955 Chevy was very exciting as well as rewarding. I never knew how much a sign would add to the car show experience, especially one outlining the history of the car. Mike was very patient with me in making the story come to life. It took 3 or 4 tries, but eventually (and with Mike's help), the story was completed. At our first indoor car show, where the sign was first displayed, we had hundreds of compliments, and many people took pictures of our sign. The sign positively added to our display.
We're just about done with our 2nd car, a '65 Plymouth Hemi, and guess who's making a story/sign for that car?
Pleasure working with you Mike and keep up the "GREAT WORK!"
Thanks again Mike!
