Contact cement will work fine. Cover both sides and follow the directions on
the car. Make sure you get some finish on the wood, but allow at least a few
days for the solvents in the contact cement to evaporate.
I prefer wood glue, but to do wood glue, you need to make some sort of press.
A few years ago, I wrote about this and Mark Olson put the write up on his
