The Pushrods was a car club that operated in the Brent area in the mid-to-late 1950's. They had a membership criteria, built the first local strip, and raced there on weekends. They also had their own custom front tags created, which were made of cast aluminum. The tags measured 8.5" x 5.25" x 1/4", and were painted in two-tone colors to match the vehicle to which they were affixed.
After several years, the club disbanded. For many years afterward, more than a few Pensacola police officers reminisced how they "used to run those boys in!". A tag that was purchased from an original Pushrods member in 1979 for $10 was sold in 2009 for $100.
