<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: hvychev</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Here is the other that is VERY similar. Bill Jacobs Chevrolet is still located in Joliet, IL which is about 35 miles out side Chicago. They do huge business in new Corvette sales today. They were roumored to have been a supercar dealer that sold both Yenko and Dick Harrell cars. This dealer decal is NEW but they have been EXACTLY the same since at least the late 60's. I saw an original owner family 69 Nova SS L78 4 speed last summer at the Joliet cruise night. The original decal was still on the back of the car and was identical besides the usual age wear.
The Ferrell Hicks and Bill Jacobs decals are even almost the same exact size. They are the same length wise but the Ferrell Hicks is a tad bigger width wise. They are also both printed on reflective sheeting.
BTW Marlin please help me with that info! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif" alt="" />

Frank, you are right that these two decals are almost the same. The reason is that Bert Ferrell was Bill Jacob's father in law and for a time they were in business together. It is true that Bill Jacobs is still alive and well in Joliet and yes we are still using the same decals, but only on the older Vette's and other muscle cars. there is an updated decal on the newer stuff. However if somebody would like a new older style decal I would be more than happy to send them out to anyone who wants one. Also I can confirm that we did in fact sell a few Harrell cars, but I'm not sure about the Yenko cars. However any info on that would be appreciated.
