Replicating Rare NGK Decal ? Group Buy Idea

Recommended Posts

It looks like the same silver Fairlady 1500 from the 1963 race in your link (#39). I assume it is the original car, since it is in the Nissan storage facility with the other original Nissan race cars. The decals are below and just forward of the Fairlady fender emblems, which are mounted below the side mirrors. Here is a blow up of the passenger side decal, but it is very faded.

I like the decal the way it is but I's like to see a replica or clean original shown with the car.

It looks like all the other 47+ year old decals/stickers/graphics on the car have been redone. I wonder why not the 'NGK'?
. Knowing Nissan problely not for a lack of trying and because maybe they didn't have a original to base a copy off of. Notice all the fine details not on the one from the car no more. I've scoured the net up and down in all possible word combinations and couldn't find even a vaguely worded description of this decal, let alone a picture, other than the Fairlady site. And that was cause the seller knew what race they were from. So im guessing they were a one race only print and the originals don't have any makers marks on the back. Edited by WingZr0

UPDates !

OK 1st I'm just looking at that silver fairlady for the first time on a real

computer and that thang is beautiful :cool:

Alright now heres whats cracking, I got the green light on the F1 ANSA decal !

So I can go ahead and start making those, if your interested please let me

know by posting here and if enough interest I can put something together.

Keep in mind theres is a cover on the one in the pic and the colors are a

very vibrant Green, Red and Blue ( Italy's colors) with a nicley detailed F1 car that

has the ANSA name in the middle or air dam and is reversed to

mount inside of a windshield.

If we should not make it for a windshield and just go with the normal

fender or face side up mount instead let me know that too.

Aslo maybe make it bigger than the size shown.

The Big red ANSA shield logo is lawyered up :(

and the yellow square ansa sticker is/will no lnger be made.

Check this out, when Fiat (of all people) bought Ferarri they said ANSA

can no longer put "their" Ferarri name on the mufflers. :eek:

Lastly with NGK I left 3 measages with the guy in charge and still no replies.

I even called again today 3 hours ago and still no word yet.

I might have to take this up with Nissan and cite the fairladies need for

an upgrade ;)

OK To be continue. . . . ~Z~

You'd have to find someone at the present day Nissan the gives a damn about history. Might be a lifetime search......

LOL Yeah only us grunts at the concession both.

Popcorn and peanuts for us, Big checks for them.

Damn corner offices !

I'll have to do some recruting then at the lower levels.

Some day we'll storm the top :beer:

Think you would have a hard time finding anyone at Nissan that actually cares about their customers.....called the customer service line lately???

Definitely think those NGK stickers would be cool for things like a center section of a clock as part of a nostalgia decoration in a garage or "Mans Room"
