The Board reads:"A relic.
In this car The Most Venerable Thich Quang Duc went from An Quang Pagoda to the intersection of Phan dinh Phung street and Le Van Duyet street on June 11, 1963 in Saigon.
As soon as he got out of the car, The Most Venerable sat down in the lotus position and burnt himself to death to protest against the Ngo dinh Diem regime's policies of discriminating asainst Busshists and violating religious freedom"
There is a picture of the burning Thich Quang Duc behind the car.
