Compact Does Not Mean Generic.
The Cruise Night board is the lower-cost physical entry point, but it uses the same vehicle-first creative process as the larger formats.
Finished Size
18x24 vertical rigid board with a matte printed surface.
Design
Built from scratch around the actual car—not a pre-selected theme or stock template.
Best Content Load
One dominant vehicle image plus the most important specs, highlights, and ownership details.
Starting Price Includes
Custom design, standard photo cleanup, proofing, production setup, and the printed board.
Send The Best Originals You Have.
You do not need a professional photo shoot. Better source files simply give us more flexibility to isolate, crop, enlarge, and clean up the vehicle without losing detail.
Best
- Original camera or phone files
- Front 3/4 or rear 3/4 vehicle view
- Entire car inside the frame
- Engine, interior, badge, and restoration details
- Historical photos when they matter to the story
Avoid When Possible
- Screenshots or social-media downloads
- Cut-off bumpers, rooflines, or wheels
- Heavy reflections hiding body lines
- Very dark or heavily filtered images
- Tiny files that need major enlargement
A Clear Process From Photos To Finished Board.
Start The Project
Choose 18x24, tell us the vehicle, and include your show or need-by date.
Send Originals & Details
We collect the strongest photos plus the specs, build notes, history, and story that deserve space.
Review Your Proof
You review the layout and vehicle information before anything is printed.
Approve & Produce
After approval and applicable payment terms, the board moves into production and shipping.
Built For Shows. Treat It Like Printed Display Art.
Matte Finish
Selected to control distracting glare under typical indoor and outdoor event lighting. No printed surface is completely glare-proof.
Transport
Keep the board dry, supported, and protected from abrasion in the vehicle. A protective carrying case is available from $49.
Storage
Store flat or properly supported in a clean, dry area. Avoid prolonged pressure, scraping, or extreme heat.
Stand Choice
Use a stable stand appropriate to an 18x24 rigid board and the conditions at the event. Windy outdoor conditions require extra care.
Common 18x24 Questions
What is included in the $229 starting price?
The Cruise Night 18x24 starting price includes a custom vehicle-specific design, a rigid matte printed board, standard photo cleanup, production setup, and an owner proof before printing.
Is the 18x24 board a template?
No. The smaller size changes the amount of content we can comfortably fit, not the design process. The board is still designed around your actual vehicle, its era, colors, details, and story.
Who is the 18x24 size best for?
It is best for cruise nights, indoor displays, tighter show spaces, table or compact stand setups, and owners who want easier transport with a focused set of specifications.
What photos should I send?
Send the largest original camera files you have. One strong front or rear three-quarter image is usually the best hero-photo starting point. Engine, interior, badge, restoration, and historical photos are useful when they add to the story.
What photo files should I avoid?
Avoid screenshots, images saved from social media, heavily compressed copies, photos with the bumpers or roof cut off, and files with strong reflections or clutter obscuring the vehicle. If that is all you have, send it and we will tell you what is workable.
What happens after I start my board?
We confirm the package and timing, collect the full-resolution photos and vehicle details, design the board, send a proof for your review, and begin production after approval and applicable payment terms are satisfied.
What if the board arrives damaged?
Photograph the shipping package and the damaged board before discarding the packaging, then contact us promptly. Confirmed production or transit damage is reviewed so we can determine the appropriate replacement solution.
What if I notice a change after approving the proof?
Please review names, dates, specifications, spelling, colors, and layout carefully before approval. Changes requested after approval or production may require a paid reprint; confirmed production errors are reviewed separately.
