I stand corrected. Lol Thanks Tim Wow! Thanks so much, believe it or not that is an important part of getting my dad’s car put together. This is one of the “last details “ I’ve been looking for. I never cleaned that glass for fear of losing that little bit of the car’s originality. A short list of original parts that survived, 56 Olds steering wheel and horn ring, 8 hole dash, parking brake pull handle, seat pan, battery mount, running boards and front fenders.
Thanks everyone for getting this little but huge to me detail nailed. I’m on the hunt for a good image so I can get a few reproduced, kinkos can make them up as stickers for inside the window. I can probably get a good photoshop rendering from the awesome photo Phillips so kindly posted. I’ll make up more pm me if you’re interested.

What a great detail quest that was solved so quickly. Glad you have the original glass to put the decal/sticker on. Bob
I’ll make you a good one tonight if I don’t fall asleep. Private message me your email and I’ll send it over
Of all the stuff I've seen solved here, this one just blows me away! With literally next to nothing in the way of clues, an answer was proffered in under 12 overnight hours. F'n AMAZING!!
Wow, The power of the Hamb figured out the decal, you have a member offering to reproduce it, Winston, you a a lucky guy! HRP
I’ve been watching the project and it’s about the coolest thing out there! Great car, great color, great engine, and most importantly great story!
Old man Schooler,after a long time,sold his biz to his #1 employee when he retired; I think his name was Ed,,his wife Mary /even before Ed took over,was the smart lady on the phone at Schooler Cams ,when ever calls came in. { Yes ,she likely had forgot more about camshaft design then most other grinders. } I used Schooler cams for about 20+ years,in my race cars [ many wins} {late 60s on} many types of engines n class's. The early decals were water slid on,but then later were vinyl,sticker. Also white T-shirts printed with logo an with red collar. After Schooler was no longer around,I moved an used Isky,poor start with Isky though, was the first cam I got from them,was done with wrong rocker ratio for Toyota 20R that I was building at the time. Hard time for them to know I was right an they were wrong! But we got passed that,after Isky #1 seller in Miami Fla. told them,I was right about T-ratio and use my spec. or find a new dealer in Fla. { I built an set up most of the dealers race cars,so what I said was not to be taken lightly,only fact. Got some good cams from Isky too after. I'm long retired,so have not got any race cams for over 25 years now. Just though some may like some old cam grinder info history!
No problem, that’s as dead on as I could get it using the references I could find. Glad to lend a hand
Hello, Ok, you guys are fast and efficient. That faded window decal is a find…something from nothing… wow! Now, here is a different take on a rare, but well known decal that needs a good flat image. I have been on a hunt f0r this old decal since I last saw it in 1965. It is an old 1960 original C&O Stick Hydro company sticker. It was yellow background with black image/lettering. (C&O AUTOMOTIVE) It is seen here on an old 671 powered SBC motor and next to it is the SWC Swindler 2. at the Lion’s Dragstrip Museum latest display area. The big tv monitor shows some old drag racing films for all to see and against the walls are the large glass cabinets with individual mementos from the drag racers from the old days at Lion’s Dragstrip. HERE Jnaki I would like to have a photo or at least a good drawing of the original, oval, Yellow C&O Stick Hydro sticker/decal. I had a couple when I had the C&O Stick Hydro installed in my 1958 Impala. But, after 8 years of ownership and handing out plenty of Yellow C&O Stickers/Decals, the last one was given to the younger teen who bought the pristine Impala. With a looming college ahead of me, I sold the Impala to a younger friend for his new trials and tribulations in the Bixby Knolls scene. YRMV This is a rare one from the beginning of 1960 era when the company first started and I was one of the first customers for my 58 Impala. The odd thing was, when the original Lion’s Dragstrip Museum was first opened, I saw a red primer 41 Willys sedan with black wheels and black tow bar. There was a 671 supercharged SBC motor sitting on a stand behind the Willys Coupe. Then, when the new version of the Lion’s Dragstrip Museum was created, the whole complex grew and the displays were changed with a more complete bit of nostalgia. So, in the current displays, the 671 SBC motor sits near the SWC’s Swindler 2 Willys Coupe. But, connected to the 671 SBC motor is a Stick Hydro of the early 60s era. A Yellow C&O Stick Hydro sticker is displayed. Does anyone have a yellow C&O sticker/decal in their files that you can post here on the HAMB? It can be an art drawing or photo. If it is flat, then it would be recognizable. Thanks...
Do you have an old vintage picture of the car from a bazillion years ago even if the sticker isn't totally in focus the colors in the style of it might help they're so little of it left currently it's going to be hard to decipher I would imagine. I guess I should have finished the comments before I chimed in I think it's already been figured out.
I have been watching your build when you took it apart I was afraid it might not get put back together .your progress has been impressive car is looking great I know you must be thrilled . Identifying the decal looked like a lost cause hard to believe the speed it was solved
