Default Re: Traction Master Company Vintage Decals - Wanted

Paul,

The "Star Burst"/"Gold & Blue Seal-Ribbon" decal that you posted is exactly like the one I have on my 69 Camaro bars. The decals on my bars are not very visible anymore. Not even good enough to use as a template, as parts of the decal are no longer and the foil face did not stand up well against the test of time. It would be nice to find NOS decals or at least high end reproductions.

My bars were black in colour under the decal. There were nicks on the bars exposing bare metal not a silver colour and the end brackets were black not copper in colour. As a result I power coated them black.

I have seen other bars from the same period mounted on a 1968 camaro and the bars were black with copper colour end brackets with no decal. Steve’s bars that were posted are 1968 vintage with black bars with copper end brackets as well.

Traction Master might have changed colour of the bars/end brackets and decal design in the 68/69 year. Perhaps Traction Master Co. can shed some light on the question. I tried to reach out to them without any success.

Did you ever get a response from them?

Dave
