IJ001 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) 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. Edited September 2 by IJ001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IJ001 Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 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??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I have used some old JnJ sheets with no problems. I mainly have hoarded them up for some of the numbers and sponsors only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IJ001 Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
