I have seen one picture of a Datsun with that decal on it. I think it was a thread on Ratsun from a couple years ago.

 

The top picture I grabbed off of eBay back in 1998. I don't think I bid on it but it might be somewhere in my box of Datsun junk.

I actually want to remake them... MMMMmmm... Has anyone noticed that it has the artist signature in the bottom?

 

I wonder if this sticker was something like Goki makes? An artist with an idea that wanted to share.

 

This is one a cleaned up and modified some. I added the white on the tail, chest and added a smile.

 

 

I see on the poster. The tail tip is white? And so is the chest? All the stickers I see are all brown... :(

That's my roadster with the decal. (It's not on the car anymore - was just a bit too "goofy retro".)

 

They were made by Vitachrome in the 70's, my guess is as part of a series of "cool car decals" to buy at Pep Boys and such. Bet they did "Bitchin' Camaro" and "Sassy Studebaker" too.....

I have a box Full of these and 3 more in as new NOS condition. There is a artist signature on it tho but I do not know who it is. I believe it's Gomez. Right? Well I just sold an original Datsun Ad Agency Art signed by artist M. Trainor called DATSUN IN A NUT SHELL dated 4/76. A Mint Leaf Green B210 inside of a giant nut shell held open by a man with a Whitefro wearing bell bottoms which I had bought from his daughter in Bakersfield. A very nice lady BTW :). I know it's not him at least Still yes very cool, just wish we new more history about it and the stories of these artists who made these in the day.
