  5. Growing up around Detroit, all us performance geeks couldn't wait to stick a "Ramchargers" sticker on our cars. I never thought they would go out of business, but eventually they did. No more stickers to be had.

    This is a painted metal replica of an old sign, from the wall of my racecar trailer, plus a pic of the car that lives in there with it (in case you're curious) :D

    Mazooma, this is great! Have you any idea the age of it? I first started going to Blairs around '58 & I don't remember this. I only recall his logos with the $ sign replacing the letter S in his name.

    Hey! as long as I'm looking through all these cool old decals, how about a personal plea... My dad owned a large speed shop in St.Paul MN. from about 1962 to 1973. It was called Racing Unlimited. Our company logo on the decals was a cartoon of a duck on a hopped up tricycle. I believe he was chomping a cigar, and there were speed lines coming off his body and trike. Does this sound familiar to any of the Minnesota guys that have been around awhile? Does anybody have one? The last time I saw the logo was on a vent wing in a car in a wrecking yard in about '81 or so, so my memory of it is hazy at best. Thanks, Chip

    Might have been, I know that there was allot of generic art turned into logos in those days. My dad did have allot of money behind him in those days though, so I would have expected pro art. Do you have a decal from this other shop you can post? I'd love to see it.

    For a great selection of either peel and stick or "Old Skool" water transfer style check out my site.

    This all started out about 9 years ago after years of collecting decals as a hobby since the mid 50's

    My wife favoriate saying is the boy's grew up but the father never did and she is right because I love what I do which makes it not even seem like work.
