Vintage Decals For The Merc

[RalphG]

I've always liked the old window decals cars used to have when I was a kid. Usually souveniers of a park or historic site. I've had a couple of them here that I finally got around to trying one out. Good thing they come with instructions. It went well. Just like the decals we used to install on the plastic model car kits so many years ago. Some video of it here. https://youtu.be/6bY_-5Em_og

Nice, transfer decals are the bomb.

Nice one! Most of the vintage decals I get disintegrate in water. Oh well......

This decal seemed quite good condition and stuck well but then it was the "newest" one being from the 1980s. I have not yet tried the 1955 one. I've seen the vintage decals for sale on ebay for quite a price and wonder just how well they would survive a transfer.

I buy and use old decals and they do come apart some so I have to soak for less time and be very gentle transferring them to the glass. if broken apart they can be maneuvered so the breaks can hardly be seen as long as the glass is wet. I usually wet the glass some before transferring also.
