Hugh Ruthven of The Finish Line, at Automobilia Monterey 2018, had some beautiful St. Christopher medals from ‘20s to ‘60s, mostly in the art deco style.  St. Christopher is the Patron Saint of Travel, and has been seen in many cars, blessing their safety and travel.  Typically affixed to wood or metal dashboards with screws – so they wouldn’t be stolen.
