Depending on your budget...we may have gotten our last ones (many yrs
ago now) at a restaurant supply place (I'm sure there are some
online)...with the black board with grooves in it...and white letters
that slide along.  That is probably the same as what Lucy means (and
probably cheaper at Office Depot).

I think we used to have magnetic letters (and board)...but, the
(flimsy?) backboard melted/warped in the heat of the vehicle (when left
in there for days)...so we went a different route for the replacement.
