Title: Let's see those old time performance stickers!
Post by: jayb on October 08, 2012, 10:08:41 PM
Once in a while I will think about all the old stickers I had collected back in the late 70s and early 80s and wish I hadn't thrown them all out.  I did save one, though.  Who else has some old stickers stuck on a window or a wall somewhere?  Post up the pics!  I'll start; sorry for the glare:

This old girl has been with me for some time...

Almost afraid to take it off the wall.. it probably would not survive the procedure.

Jay, you made me dig out a scrapbook I had when I was about 12. I remember sending away for the Pontiac stickers ( thankfully I never turned to the dark side ) and the Bardahl stickers I think you sent a SASE away. STP stickers were everywhere in the 60's. There was an issue of Hot Rod magazine in about 1966 maybe that included a free decal. Don't know how much STP it sold, but from a marketing standpoint is was brilliant.

My first big boy box.
Some old stickers from long gone projects and even an old navy one.  :P
Love my new poster for my new little shop.
I have a huge stack of them in a folder going back many years. I'll give them to my grandsons when they get a bit older.

Kevin, I just noticed the Ram Rod sticker at the bottom of your scrapbook.  What was that for?  I've never heard of "Ram Rod"...

Jay, regarding the "Ram Rod" sticker, that's a good question. I hadn't looked at that scrap book in a long time. When I dug it out I had the same thought. I did some google searching tonight and it looks like Fenton had a Torq-thrush knockoff wheel called the Ram Rod about that era. Maybe that's what it's from, anyone have an idea? Another Google result mentioned JC Penney. I do remember JC Penney getting into the aftermarket parts business and promoting it by giving away decals at some event. I'm sure I pestered my mom to drop me off while at the mall. I think that's where the car related one's in this photo came from, and possibly the Ram Rod one too.  I'm sure all the "Cool" ones were long gone lol.

In 1970, I mailed one dollar to Carroll Shelby Automotive to receive this Shelby Cobra decal and a Shelby Mustang sales brochure. Stuck the sticker inside the trunk lid of my 68 Fastback.....it is still there.

Thanks, Original paint car. 68 1/2 CJ even more stickers on the other side. Blair Patrick is building a stocker engine for it. Was the Mile High Nationals champs in 1989. In Fl now and trying to keep it as is. Has some old school stickers on it.

Yes, a real cool CJ! It does look period correct as today I don't see many S or SS cars with those oval NHRA event stickers. Nice paint color too....at least what we can see of it LOL! Hey, you should post up the engine details when the new monster is ready.

This is on the windshield of the 66 T-Bird that I bought earlier this year.  Car was supposed to have been brought up to Canada from California about 10 years ago.  I guess whoever owned it down there was a bit of a hot rodder, and maybe had friends or family that he crewed for ...

Gratiot Auto Supply...that was the place back in the day. Never did it myself (too young and a chickensh-t) but knew a few ballsy fellows who would drive their iron across from Windsor or Sarnia ON down to Detroit, install speed parts (headers, intakes, carbs, etc) in the parking lot and drive back.  Canada Customs -- or whatever they were called back then -- were none the wiser.

Post by: hvywrench on July 14, 2015, 05:08:50 AM
In that same box of goodies were a few stapled sheets from Gratiot, I scanned them and posted them over on the other forum.
I was 16 or 17 at the time and don't think I ever purchased from them. The prices seem crazy cheap now, but back then they were way out of reach for a high school kid.

I have a Craftsman box that goes back to the mid-60s that has both ends covered with stickers. The problem is that it's far back in my storage at present and therefore I can't get to it to take pictures.

On an allied note I clearly remember going to Milan and observing, in the pits, a girl dressed in the bottom half of a skimpy swim suit and a pair of STP stickers. Needless to say... 8)
