Nice!

What would you want for one Michael?

For anyone interested, here's how Darryl's (pontiacanada) original 64 Parisienne decal compares to Michael's and the poor repop.

I'm thinking there were no doubt subtle differences in the print since the decal appeared, to when it stopped (in the mid 70's?).

But I'm actually surprised this yellow decal was used so early.

Someone had decals for sale here years ago and I bought a couple. After much scanning of it, I've determined it's neither the cheap reproduction decal shown, nor Michael's repro. I can't remember how I got it but I think AK67SD got a few at that time, a group of us maybe shared a purchase if I am right.

This is the one I got years back.

I can state, unequivocally, that the reproduction shown here uses the wrong font. I'm guessing off the shelf Helvetica for this example, with a more or less disregard for kerning and word-spacing. I have been a graphic designer and art director for over 20 years now, so attention to these kinds of details is what I do every day.

I matched the font family, font-weight, font-size and typeset on top of an original Oshawa built 70 Chevelle surviving example. Line spacing is the same. Letter spacing and word spacing are faithful. I've even included all of typographical errors as seen on the original example.

The above example is kinda close. At least it's cleaner than the example I purchased and angered me, which set me down this path...

I wish I knew. I want to put my decal on in the right spot, so if nobody else is able to help I will contact the owner of my old 4 speed car. I know he will have it but he isn't on the site here very often to see this.

 Carl,

I don't think there is a "right" spot, per say. My frame of reference is an early production model of a 1970 Chevelle SS396, built 5 week October '69 at the Oshawa plant. I have sold this sticker to other Oshawa Chevelle owners of similar vintage and the position the Posi sticker and the jacking instructions moved around a bit, from under-deck lid cut-out to cut-out. Here are two surviving examples, the last two being my own.

Cool

I might order a couple,  if there are any manitoba guys that want, just let me know,  i can do a group order.

Count me in for two ( for the Manitoba group order) .

Thanks

And these are super nice decals,  i ordered a bunch and are very pleased with them.  Crisp clear fonts, and totally accurate a Micheal points out

thanks again, Micheal!

Ya i think so,  i got a pile of them back in the summer,  been saving them for the next coffee meet.
