Re: Gates Chevrolet
I only remember seeing the stickers with the white letters. Never saw one that had chrome or body color showing through.

Re: Gates Chevrolet
Thanks Dan for the pics. Was there several designs over the years? Was the design as pictured just for bumpers and the other for a painted surface although I doubt any dealer in the day would have gone as far to have two stickers for a common purpose. I think all can agree that this is an interesting comparison. Which is right for a 69 car?

Re: Gates Chevrolet
Patrick, thanks for the call today - looks like your going ahead with the South Bend Stickers!
Anyone out here on the site interested in the same sticker except it has Mishawaka on it? I'm planning, with the help of the help of Patrick, use his Gates Template and have about 10 of these made. Pls let me or Patrick know if there is any interest in purchasing one or more of the Mishawaka stickers. Thanks in advance and great work by Patrick and others to sort this out!

Re: Gates Chevrolet
A big thanks to John Brown who went to Mishawaka today to talk to a current employee Larry Mitchell with Gates since the 60's and really pinned the sticker down and remembered it well. He said that after several complaints of stickers that were put on painted trunk lids causing a problem when removed, ALL were put on the bumpers in the day. Cool stuff! I will have the Gates South Bend stickers Monday. Any takers besides Ed?

Re: Gates Chevrolet
Not to get too off track, but does anybody have any Bud Gates Chevrolet (of Indianapolis) stickers or dealer emblems?
