VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 1929-30 Air Cleaner Decal

I did some research and created a copy the the air cleaner decal as a plastic decal. I was unable to find an original so the colors might be off.
I used the illustrations in the GM film strip 1930 Mechanical Features and calculated the size as 2 X 1.5 inches.

So where is a picture? (Please).

Sorry forgot the picture.

Looks great! How did you make it up?

Had a sign shop do the art work and make up the decals. went with the vinyl transfer instead of the water transfer. The originals didn't survive because of the heat and gasoline spillage.

Very nice work. Al W.

I have the same filmstrip (1930 Mechanical Features) and after looking at the frame on my film strip that shows both the 1929 and the 1930 air cleaners side by side, the decal depicted in my filmstrip is not identical to the decal shown in the photo above.

The lines of the printing below the words "Air Cleaner" on the frame in my filmstrip are tapered not even. That is to say the first line of print is longer than the second line. The second line of print is longer than the third line and the third line of print is longer than the fourth line.

Other than that the decal depicted in the photo above looks great!

Are you reproducing these decals for sale? I would certainly like to purchase one for my 30 roadster. Thanks J Falk

I had rhe sign shop make up some extra decals and I put an ad in the parts for sale Forum. If I ever find an original, I'll update the art work.

I made a decal several years ago for my '31. I have no idea if it's accurate, either, but I based it on a "barn-fresh" 1931 Oakland I saw at a swap meet.
It's about the same size, but rectangular. It's white lettering (on black), and the "AC" logo is orange and blue. I can't read yours, but surprisingly it looks like the exact same wording on it.
(I don't have a server or photo account anywhere, so I can't post a picture...)
