I have it hanging in the garage appropriately under my Dads high school car club plate.
Funny thing is my buddy that made this is a Ford guy!!

There’s just something inherently cool about 409’s. I have many “off-brand” friends and when they introduce me to their like-minded friends it goes like this: “This is Mark and he’s a Chevrolet guy . . . . but he’s a 409 guy!”. The initial groans quickly turn into the slow nod of approval and I’m immediately accepted! Everybody loves 409’s! Giddy Yup!!
