TomoHawk Posted June 21, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2015 You know those decals that look like shields on the fender of vintage sports cars? I mean the stuff like the Scuderia Ferrari shield on the Ferrari race cars. Is there a formal name for those decals? I noticed that there are other kinds besides the Scuderia Ferrari, but I couldn't see what was on them. Some were round or rectangular or squareish. thxZ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51689-fender-decalsbadges/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Maras Posted June 21, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 21, 2015 I believe they fall into the "Coat of Arms" category. Middle ages till now, they are still in use.

TomoHawk Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted June 21, 2015 they didn't look anything like a coat of arms to me. It looked more like a decal from a car club, but I couldn't make out what's on them. Here are some examples: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51689-fender-decalsbadges/#findComment-472410 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Velly Interestink. I pretty much presumed that those stickers were just club logos or race team logos. I never thought of all the other things the stickers could be used for, aside from the arrow pointing to the tow hook. I kinda assumed that class information and car number would be on the roundel, and stuff like the fire extinguisher and electric cutoff switch would be standard things, like to see on modern race cars. I need to look into some of the GCRs for that stuff.

HS30-H Posted June 21, 2015 Share #6 Posted June 21, 2015 The '22' in an oval is a participant sticker from the Goodwood Festival of Speed event. If it was a clearer photo, it would show the logo and the year of the event. However, as it is no.22 I can tell that it is Nick Mason's Ferrari 250 GTO, which wears the no.22 as its race number. Goodwood always like to give cars a number that ties in somewhere: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Nick+Mason%27s+250GTO+at+Goodwood+Festival+of+Speed&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=lPyGVY-PAoefsAHvkb_QAw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1247&bih=602 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51689-fender-decalsbadges/#findComment-472455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted June 21, 2015 Share #7 Posted June 21, 2015 By the way, the yellow circle is a pit signalling aid. It identified a particular car for lap timing / scoring and pit-to-car signalling in period.

TomoHawk Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted June 22, 2015 Even the sales from Pink Floyd albums was enough to buy a Ferrari back then, at about $18000. My current car with a 4 cyl. engine and stamped-steel body cost that much new!
