Product Description

This magnetic fender flag set puts a flag on a vehicle without drilling or clamping anything. The stainless steel magnetic base sets on a steel fender or hood, the 18 IN polished aluminum staff drops into it, and the 8 IN x 12 IN flag flies above. Choose an eagle or a ball ornament for the top of the staff.

It is made for parades, car shows, dealership lots, funeral processions, and holiday drives, and it comes off in seconds when the event is over. The set is made in the USA. It needs a steel body panel; the magnet will not hold on aluminum or fiberglass.

Historical Background

Flags on vehicles come from the motorcade. A small flag on the right front fender identifies the passenger, a head of state, a general officer, or an ambassador, and the practice spread from official cars to funeral processions, parades, and civic events. The fender flag became the way a car takes part in a ceremony.

The magnetic base is the modern version of the bolted fender mount. It lets a car that is not fitted for flags carry one for the day and go back to normal afterward, which suits dealerships, funeral homes, and anyone who joins a parade once a year.

Will the magnet hold on my car?

On a steel fender or hood, yes. Test with a small magnet first; many newer vehicles use aluminum hoods and fenders, and the base will not hold on those or on fiberglass.

Will it scratch the paint?

Set the base on a clean, dry panel and lift it straight off rather than sliding it. Grit trapped under the base is what marks paint, so wipe both surfaces first.

How fast can I drive with it?

Parade and around-town speeds. The base is not meant for highway speed, where wind load on the flag can shift it.

Can I use a different flag?

Yes. The staff takes any 8 IN x 12 IN mounted flag with a matching sleeve, including state, military, and organizational flags.

Which side of the car?

The right fender, the passenger side. The United States Flag Code says a flag displayed on a car should be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender. A second flag goes on the left.

Is it a set, or do I need to buy anything else?

It is complete: staff, magnetic base, ornament, and the 8 IN x 12 IN flag. Nothing else is needed.

How do I store it between events?

Lift the base off, slide the staff out, and keep the pieces together in the carton. The staff is aluminum and the base is stainless steel, so neither will rust in a garage.
