In the 50\'s and 60\'s, before stickers were common, waterslide decals were the hot rodder\'s choice when it came to personalizing a vehicle. Decals were available at speed shops for purchase and were sometimes included with the purchase of a speed part. Many were used for contingency prizes at racetracks and also let the driver next to you at the stoplight what they were up against. Unless carefully stored, these decals would quickly become faded, yellowed, and brittle. Many were applied to cars, tool boxes, shop windows, etc and once applied they can not be removed. Finding real deal original waterslide decals today is a very difficult task. These decals make a great final touch on a period correct hot rod. They also look amazing as display pieces in garages, shops, offices, and man caves. Even people not in touch with the car scene can appreciate the art work and nostalgic feel of these original water slide decals.
The decal in this sale is a true original from the 60\'s, not a reprint, reproduction, etc. The owner of a well known speed shop in Southern Calfornia recently passed away and a box of decals was found buried deep in his personal items. The decal in this sale is one out of that box. It is believed that these decals were stashed away when the shop moved locations in 1967 and had not seen the livfe of day until the estate sae. Many of the decals have dated of 1961 and 1962 on them and others have printing on the back that includes a 5 digit phone number(early 60\'s). These decals are the real deal from the golden era of hot rodding and came from the epicenter of hot rod culture.
A waterslide decal is not a sticker. It is a decal that is applied much like a temporary tattoo is applied today. I made a quick video showing how these vintage waterslide decals are installed.
