| That is one cool-daddy-o photo. Don't you wish you could go back then? No nukes, no freeway, no territorialism. An old warbonnet Santa Fe chugging by once in a while. |

The old style phone number is how it was done in Ohio during the 60's, the number is faked and actually my son's birthday.
Local guy did all this for me, I just gave him some inspiration from this tread. He did an awesome job, if you are in the midwest and interested PM me and I'll get you his info.
I point to this sticker A LOT when I get asked when I'm going to paint it! haha

Here's mine:
It's hard to make out in this pic, but this side has been logoed twice. The last time says "Art Institute". Under that it says something "Elementary Kindergarton". The school name isn't legible due to the art institute logo.

That pretty much sums it up. Pressed bumpers with high mounted dollar tail lights. Generally accepted as 58 features.

Velzy's brand new red single cab without the logos is in the beginning of the 1958 Bruce Brown surf film, "Slippery when Wet".

Oh crap, the memory is slipping. I could have sworn it didn't have the logos on it and it's only been 6 years sense that post.
