WTB Vintage water slide decals - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 03-04-2007, 03:49 PM

Im building this 69 panel and I was looking for some cool vintage water slide decals for the back window. I found a few car related ones and some of those kind you stuck on the window of your wagon when you went on road trips with your family. Like, Yellowstone National Park etc etc. Next thing you know the bug hit me and now I "NEED" more. I'm getting a good size collection of vintage water slide decals, I think I have over a hundred now.

I just purchased 26 more off another board. So if you have any of these collecting dust or just laying in a drawer maybe you could pm me with what you have and how much you want for em.

Thanks, Mark

Can they actually do water slides or do they do stickers?

Opps forgot to post a couple of examples. I think I posted these here before...so if you missed em or are trying to figure out what Im talking about so you can send me some....here are the pics again.

I love those old stickers. My dad has quite a few on the lid of the top chest of his tool box. The coolest one is from the '62 U.S. Nationals in which he raced his 56 Corvette.

Well,you have a great collection yourself.Thanks for showing.

Just stickers. Now that you posted the pics, I have a better idea of what you are talking about. Doubt that a sign company could make one of those, but they could probably print on clear sticker substrate in reverse.

I think my dad has/had some of those that were made for the original Honda Hawk (the land speed bike, not the production bike - he helped design the turbos.).

If you or your father have pics of your Bonneville days I sure would love to see em...maybe even scan them?

Well it looks like no one here has any of these old decals...or they just don't wanna give em up.

Thanks
