Oldsmobile Decals

[stavanzer]

I'm looking for Decals that Say "Oldsmobile", rather than decals FOR and Oldsmobile.

The one thing Round2 did not put on either F-85 decal sheet.I'd like the older style from the 50's - 60's rather than the blocky 1980's style. 

I've been trawling on ebay, and on some of the aftermarket NASCAR places, but it seems for whatever reason, every team that raced an Olds professionally, never used the Olds Trade Dress or Logo.............. Best, I can find are a couple of Rocket Logos from the hood of the First Issue of the Revell 1950 Olds.

There are not too many Olds kits out there anyway, so It is hard finding anything.

No Hurry, though. I'll keep looking.

A couple of the photoetch sheets from MCG have Olds lettering.

The kits these sheets are designed for might have the lettering on the decal sheets too. [Revell '50 Olds and '72 Cutlass cvt.]

The 1/25 Revell '72 Olds Cutlass Supreme convertible decals Steve mentioned:

Thanks, Steve and Casey.

Those are nice but so small. I was hoping to find something a bit bigger, in Billboard style for the flanks of the car. More like the "Plymouth" on the sides of the Superbirds.

I may have to try to hunt down a couple of those '72 Olds sheets though. I need two of the #18.

Revell's Warren Johnson pro-stock kit and Slixx decal sheets for WJ, Mark Osborne and Frank Iaconio pro stockers have various "Oldsmobile" and "Hurst/Olds" logos for windshield headers, front air dams and door panels you might be able to use. They're not huge, but bigger than nameplates.

Thanks, Jo, for the steer on the Slixx Decals.

I've checked both there and Powerslide for stuff. None of it is really what I wanted. I'll find something and make do.

It is just amazing to me how little Olds gets their name out there. Most Olds Racers, (Drag or Circle) have very subdued or non-existent branding compared to other GM stablemates. While at Ford, they slap that Blue Oval on anything that moves. No Wonder Ford has such strong branding. Looking at the Olds 442 Racers from Salvino's one can find several decal sheets. Many don't have either the Rocket Logo or the word "Olds" anywhere on them. If I didn't know better, I'd think Olds was ashamed of their cars. Kinda sad, but to me, it does help explain why GM had to kill the brand when they did. Lackluster Cars, and no name recognition. Sad.......
