Mystery decal sheet ???

[IJ001]

Good afternoon from New Zealand.

So when I was going through my decal sheet stash a couple of weeks back, I found this sheet for (I'm guessing) Rob Moroso's rookie year Crown Oldsmobile. My question... does anyone know who produced this sheet there's absolutely no clue that I can see on the either side of the paper. Also, who or what was 'Crown' ? it's not a sponsor I ever saw again.  It's not life or death, I'd just really like to know.

 

Thanks in advance.

That is likely a JnJ decal sheet. I have at least one around. Crown gas stations were around, I would say at least in 1977, then they were gone.

Crown gas stations are still around. I'm in Prince Georges County, Maryland and there are some here and there. I would guess that's because we're much less than a half hour away from Baltimore.

I agree, most likely that sheet was made by JnJ.

It is a J-N-J sheet. It would have come with a black and white placement sheet the size of the decals and would have been packaged in a clear sleeve with a paper with their logo stapled on the end. Early on they were the only game in town.

Thanks folks, appreciate you taking the time to reply. All I need to do now is try one of the smaller sponsor decals and see if they still work... (deep breath).

I can confirm it is a JNJ decal. We were the biggest JNJ dealer at the time. A license issue mad it a generic sheet. 

I always stopped at CROWN gas when I lived in Charlotte......but they are all gone now.

My build.....what decals do you need???

Hey Dave

The sheet is complete, just hoping it's usable.

I don't know about others, but I have never had any trouble with old J-N-J sheets. Have several that I plan to build.

[bobss396]

I have used some old JnJ sheets with no problems. I mainly have hoarded them up for some of the numbers and sponsors only.

Great to read this... thanks for the replies, folks.

I'll start a thread this weekend on the 'in progress' section, but the rolling chassis is 80% complete and I ought to finish that today. Still cannot decide between the Moroso car or the Buddy Baker/Red Baron one, but that's my problem. Thanks once again folks, really appreciate the responses.

 

Cheers from New Zealand.
