Was there a single supplier on those stripes?

[nascarxx29]

The material was 3 M .They probably subcontracted the decals out.My friend who got his daytona in the mid 70s .Got from Dave Patik just the daytona letters to put on his car.

   Thanks UFO perfect! Actually after placing a vert. line through the center of most of the "A" (connecting the center of the top and bottom of the "A" respectively) that are pictured almost none (except for maxwellwedge first post) of them are tilted (just an illusion). In other words the centerline of all the letters match up quite well. Very interesting decal maxwellwedge!

What can I tell you boys.... Patik says the style on my car is correct - But yes - I seem to be the only oddball in this plethora of posts. He must have some picks of some 'Tona's with my style. How about I ask him for pics of what he based his decals off of? Could there be more than one style? He told me he made his first run in the '70's with tracings off of an original (They were only a few years old then - LOL) car. The tracings are the same as what was on mine. Canadian thing? - Nah. SE thing? - Nah. I am going to repaint (the exterior only) anyway. Engine bay and trunk are original and fairly nice. Doc must have paid at least 600.00 for the job that is on it now so a re-paint is in order. Acrylic enamel with some good old Ma Mopar orange peel...what could be sweeter? What stripe style will I put back on? Hmmmmm

Maybe the worker was trying to be "creative"  LOL
It is a decal right?  Not painted on.
If it's a problem for you to deal with just send the car over here.
I promise it will have a good home.

I'll see what I can find in some of my older pictures. If I notice any of them that have the slanted "A"s then I"ll scan them and post up.

That would be awesome - I feel so alone 

[Ghoste]

I've looked through mine to no avail.  I have a tiny fraction of what Danny has but they go back a ways.

[UFO]

I wonder if one side had to be replaced when it was still a new car?
Or did creative put the different ones on?

[nascarxx29]

Im still searching for pictures on my computer .For some more slanting A/s

You may have the only remaining example left.

I got this pic...but I don't think it's what you are looking for

[maxwellwedge]

OK - I found one sold new in Newfoundland (No offence to my Newf friends - Lord and Tundering)

the anotyad--was that a Trabant?

The Trabant
This is the car that gave Communism a bad name. Powered by a two-stroke pollution generator that maxed out at an ear-splitting 18 hp, the Trabant was a hollow lie of a car constructed of recycled worthlessness (actually, the body was made of a fiberglass-like Duroplast, reinforced with recycled fibers like cotton and wood). A virtual antique when it was designed in the 1950s, the Trabant was East Germany's answer to the VW Beetle — a "people's car," as if the people didn't have enough to worry about. Trabants smoked like an Iraqi oil fire, when they ran at all, and often lacked even the most basic of amenities, like brake lights or turn signals. But history has been kind to the Trabi. Thousands of East Germans drove their Trabants over the border when the Wall fell, which made it a kind of automotive liberator. Once across the border, the none-too-sentimental Ostdeutschlanders immediately abandoned their cars. Ich bin Junk!

Looks like they carried on the slanty A theme to the '08s
