specialp3 Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Hi Everyone, I have my designers redrawing old Datsun dealer stickers so I can print them to add to the back window of my zed. I do have the resources to reproduce the stickers at work so I would ask that if anyone has images of what the original dealer decals looked like add the them to this post. I was going to produce a small number of the main dealer decals and sell them to recover the costs. If anyone has a photo of the Capitol Motors (from Parramatta Road) decal from the early 70's I would be helpful. Cheers, Aaron Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted April 3, 2018 Administrators Posted April 3, 2018 I would love a Capitol Motors sticker since my white 240z came from there! Quote

specialp3 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 I would love a Capitol Motors sticker since my white 240z came from there! The attached is the only Capitol Motors info I can find. Anyone know what colour it should be ? Black and white ? I need the Capitol Motors decal for my car. Quote
GongZ Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Hi Aaron, How about this?... This is on my late 73' which the previous owner purchased 'from the showroom floor' at Capitol Motors. (As you can see - it is black and white) Now I suppose you will want me to measure it for you Quote
specialp3 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 Hi Aaron, How about this?... Capitol Motors - 1973 dealer sticker.JPG This is on my late 73' which the previous owner purchased 'from the showroom floor' at Capitol Motors. (As you can see - it is black and white) Now I suppose you will want me to measure it for you : Perfect. Could you confirm if the BIGGEST IN AUSTRALIA is a separate decal ? Also, dimension would be appreciated. Quote
GongZ Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Here are the dimensions (mm); They are two separate stickers and the white line across the top of the "Biggest in Australia" sticker is 0.7mm thick. My stickers have deteriorated badly since I took the photo, so I would be interested in new stickers too please. Edited April 4, 2018 by GongZ Quote

Will upload what they come up with. I have wanted this stocker for the past 20 years. GongZ and gav240z 2 Quote
chris240 Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Yeah mine also came from Capitol, bought from Capitol and driven straight to Canberra. I also had some decals made up from Lennock Datsun last year, if anyone needs one. Just need to remember where I stashed them. Quote
specialp3 Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 I had the designers redraw the Capitol Motors decal that Gongz attached (thank you). I will run a test print next week and see how they look. GongZ and gav240z 2 Quote
specialp3 Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 They will be cut as 2 decals like the original. Quote
GongZ Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) They look excellent Aaron. The only comments I have are; - the white line at the top of the "Biggest in Australia" decal goes at the very top edge. - the two short lines inside the circle (of the symbol between "Capitol" and "Motors") are too thick.

specialp3 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) I am mainly doing this for my own car, Gav and Gongz are after Capitol Motors as I am. Guys, PM me you address and I will send out the decals next week if all goes well, I have 100K sticker order on the printer so may not get free print time next week. If anybody else wants a dealer sticker let me know and we will work out a reasonable price for the effort in design time. Edited April 7, 2018 by specialp3 Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted April 7, 2018 Moderators Posted April 7, 2018 Hi Aaron How hard would it be be, and cost, to knock up a batch of "AusZcar" stickers ? I would handle the costs orders and distribution to anyone who wanted one. Cheers PB RAP260 1 Quote
chris240 Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Pete, I had a bunch of these made up many years ago plus some smaller ones which I donated to Lurchos. I can put you in touch with the signage guy who made them if you want. Quote
Yamahacam Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 What was the outcome ? Did you have them redrawn and printed ? No outcome really, was just interested in getting some images together in one place. There was an awesome Stanza one with a rodeo horse but I can't see the image in the comments anymore. Quote
