Product Description

A car window American flag clips to the top edge of a rolled-up window and flies beside the car. This one is 11 IN x 14 IN, printed on UV-resistant 100% polyester, with double-needle lock-stitched hems. The clip mount slides over the window glass; roll the window up and the flag is held in place.

It is the flag people put on the car for a parade, a game, Memorial Day weekend, or July 4. It is made in the USA. For a fender-mounted flag with a staff and an eagle, see our auto flag with fringe or the magnetic fender flag set.

The Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes on June 14, 1777, with 13 stripes for the original colonies and 13 stars for a new constellation. As states joined the Union the star count grew, and the 50-star pattern in use today was set on July 4, 1960 after Hawaii became a state. The rules for displaying the flag, including half-staff and nighttime display, are set out in the United States Flag Code.

Flags on cars go back to the early motorcade, when officials and military commanders flew their colors from a staff on the fender. The window clip flag is the everyday version that arrived with mass-produced plastics: a small flag anyone can put on the family car for a parade or a holiday weekend and take off the same evening.

Symbolism at a Glance

  • Thirteen stripes: the original colonies that declared independence.
  • Fifty stars: the states of the Union, one star for each.
  • Red: hardiness and valor.
  • White: purity and innocence.
  • Blue: vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

  • Parades and motorcades, one on each side of the car.
  • Memorial Day, Flag Day, and July 4 weekends.
  • Tailgates and game days.
  • Dealership lots and car shows, where a row of flags draws the eye.
  • Veterans events and welcome-home convoys.

How does it attach?

Roll the window down a few inches, slide the clip over the top edge of the glass, and roll the window up. The window holds the clip in place.

Is it safe at highway speed?

It is made for parade and around-town speeds. At highway speed a window flag whips hard and wears out fast, and the clip can shift. Take it off before the highway.

Will it scratch the paint or the window?

The clip rides on the glass, not the paint. Keep the flag clean; grit in the fabric can mark the door if the flag rubs against it.

Can I fly it on a truck or an SUV?

Yes, on any vehicle with a roll-up window. On a tall vehicle check that the flag clears the mirror.

What do I do when the flag wears out?

Bring it to us or send it in and we will tell you whether it can be repaired. If it is past saving, retire it through your local VFW or American Legion post, or at home following the Flag Code. Our repair and disposal page explains each option.
