That is a good question, I haven't found one either and since I have a tubular bumper I found a small flag set of three flags that has a bracket that slips under the hoods behind the radiator cap of the 28. Gary Wallace sells the set with bracket that slips under the hood for $15

If you haven't found any by the time I get home from the Early Six Cylinder Tour (1929 - 1954) I'll post an address of a place in Dayton, Ohio that sells a set of five flags with a holder that will bolt on with one of your bumper bolts. The last time I checked they had 48 and 50 star flags. I use three american flags and two Ohio flags.
Happy Hunting.
Jim

Yes, that is the one. The proper name for it is a pennant but who needs to be proper.

Wasn't there an article in the G&D that had a neat way of doing bumper flags a while back?

I made the flag holder I'm using now, using some scavenged nickel-chromium-plated angle clips from some furniture...holds three flags... hoping to find something a little nicer... epi

Sounds like a money-making project for the club.

Hey Jim, my book says it is a sizzortail flag! I guess it has been so long since an @hi@ team won a Pennant they did away with the word! We don't hardly ever use the "P" word here in Texas either!

Ya, I guess they don't give a pennant for being the National Football Champions.
