The message board system () may, as an alternative, include a message board housing () also configured to couple a vehicle structure (). The housing () includes multiple cells, each of which having a suspension liquid () and magnetic particles (). The particles () are pulled through the suspension liquid () in response to an applied magnetic field to form an image.
