ive been looking for the old ass, grass or cash, nobody rides for free sticker for a long time. i can order 500 of them for like 170 dollars and ive thought about trying to sell them for 1 or 2 dollars to make my money back but i dont know.. i dont want everyone in town to have the same sticker as me.. i really love the old "tourism " stickers big back background with howe caverns written in flouresant green, stuff like that.

My Dad had a Nixon for president button on the visor of his 68 Bus. I'd love to have that old shit back.

I've got an old "I like Ike" pin for my '55 sunroof, and for my 21 window, a bumper sticker that says:

"don't change dicks in the middle of a screw,
vote for Nixon in '72"

But that one doesn't actually get attached to the bumper, it's never been used, so I just lay it on the middle seat if I am displaying the bus.
I got a ton of old original EMPI stickers from the East Coast dealer for EMPI, but thry are quite collectible now, so I don't run them on anything.

I love the old travel decals. Had loads of them on my '63 Riviera. Working on collecting a bunch for my '67 Riviera. As for the old buttons...I know a couple local antique shops who have scads of them!!

I would like to start collecting stickers again. When I was a kid I would get stickers from places we went and I put all of them on the outside of my bedroom door. One time I changed rooms and moved the door. Finally my dad scraped them all off. What a shame. I would like to gather up some cool stickers and make a sticker table like that one camper bus had. Of course I need a camper bus first.

Islip???? Home of the "demolition Derby"! I was born and raised there. Larry mendlson owned the racetrack and drag strip. The strip was only 1/8 mile I think!------------- Sorry had to jump in! Aloha! "Islip High, 1966" (eye-slip) NOT (is-slip)

Actor, if you're thinking travel decals...scour those antique stores!! I've been hitting them as often as I can, and there are few out there! Confused

NCR that sounds like a good idea. I'm sure we have plenty of those around these parts. Smile

I'm more into collecting just funny stickers I see around shows and stores and stuff. Anybody who sees my bus could tell this pretty easily, though. Very Happy

Come to think of it, I should get a picture of my newest sticker to put up here. Y'all will love it.

You can usually find old travel stickers on eBay. Search luggage stickers or travel decals.

Every four years I dig out my Nixon/Agnew bumper sticker and tape it to the rear window. Fits my 72 just fine. I also have a Rockefeller for President sticker I use from time to time.

Dredging up an old thread.
