I have mentioned to some that my car was dragged at Oswego. I am wondering if Oswego had any window decals back in the day. Anyone know?

I have seen a few items on Ebay.
Silver Dollar Surveys w/OSWEGO Dates on back,as well as Window Decals from the 50's.
I have contacted a man through another that grew up over there and actually took pix of anything with wheels from 1965-1975.He told me to give him 3-4 weeks to look through his boxes of pix.
He may even have the Mist Green LS6 too.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Darren, i think Caleb Arone's Copo was raced there. I am going by memory, but I think I remember seing that sticker on one of the windows of his car?

Darren,

I have the door to the Oswego starting line shanty sitting in my basement. Would be kinda hard to display on your car, though http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Darren, Bill Pritchards friend Dan Hornback has a cool repop Oswego drag strip decal on the quarter glass of his restored Fencl Tufo Yenko Deuce that he has had since 1976. Also as a matter of interest Dan took the picture of the Fencl Tufo Draggin Deuce that is in the vintage supercar section of this site at Oswego! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
