Anybody recognize this decal?
-
I've got the email address and phone number of the museum in Nashville, going to contact them to see if they can help me out. Worst case scenario -- "No!"

Wouldn't be easier to find the car picture in a better resolution ?
Gee, I hadn't thought of that!
I have scoured the net several times over, but if you find one you let me know.
-
A bit more info might help, such as type of vehicle it is on and year. I'm guessing a bus. But without some point of reference it could be anything. There being one in nashville doesn't mean it's from nashville. I may well be a local highschool football team from Buttplug, Nebraska.

I'm really having a hard time believing that's not a letter in front of the A and that it's not somehow connected to the S blob. However I can't seem to find a word that fits.
Let's ask ourselves what's round that you would only put one wing on? Sports? Racing? Flying?

They didn't come as a set because they both point the same direction. A gift for attending something each year?

New interpretation (better than a Rorschach test!
Seems that can be a girl who fill the cabriolet car's tank at a petrol station!

Trust a Frenchman to find une femme in something as vague as that.

Yeah, sorry Box. It's a project that's almost finished, and as a rule I don't like to give away what it is until I'm ready to post it here on the forums. Just one of my many, many quirks.
And, no, it's not from Nashville. It was built in Cincinatti, Ohio, for a company located in St Louis, Missouri. It may have spent some time in Buttplug but I can't verify it@krisidious said:

You may very well be right about there being a letter in front of the Ace, and, yes, it does sort of look like there's a fancy "S" in the round blob. But I can't put them together to mean anything. Space?

Your enhanced version convinces me it's actually an alien feeding a bear
-
Your clues weren't cryptic enough, I found the car itself.
It appears to be some sort of Vintage car rally sticker. Something like a record of entry or timing stage. Many cars have multiples.
Have a look at the great race .com If you meander through all the gallery photos you should find a clear shot somewhere.
-
BOOOOOM! Way to go Box.
-
By the way, I didn't post the car itself, that's still under wraps for hellnbak.
-
Hey Box, you the man! Yeah, the car did participate in the 2005 Great Race (but the car you pictured was not it
). Unfortunately, all I've come up with so far are a bunch of photos with the decal even fuzzier than the one I originally posted (don't people take close-ups anymore?). Here's the closest I've come --
and only the top right two decals appear to be the same as the one I need, and of course they are unusable.
But I haven't given up. First it's nap time, then back to it.
Thanks again. -

Much appreciated. There will be a little something extra in your Xmas gift this year
-
Don't worry, I know which it is. Didn't want to spoil your thunder.
-
Near the solution : we must find the year!
-
Don't mean to interupt, but why is this in "SketchUp Discussions" and not the Corner bar ?
-
I'd say asking at one of the vintage rally forums would yield an answer faster.
-
The more I look at it the more it looks like either a participation or stage ace/win award sticker
-
Maybe better chance in Flicker!

Because Hellnbak makes a reconstruction of the sticker in sketchup!
