I'm finally (!) about to design the GT?CS Decal for the Registry, and I would like some input as to how you would like it. I know I've asked this before, but there is one thing on my mind....

Should I still make it say "celebrating 35 years 1968-2003", OR should it be a more generic, non-dated decal for registry members? Gold with black lettering & round--just like the old ones??

You see, 2003 is about over, and a decal with "35 yrs." on it will be dated in no time. What do you think??

I'll put the ( updated) production number, etc., like the old ones, too.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Part of the $$ will go to the SHELBY children's heart fund (via SAAC).

Paul.

Paul,
I think the old style looks great. I actually never thought about the decal saying "35th Ann" but it would date it and a generic one would be a better seller after this year. Although the "35th Ann" decal would be a collectors item as time passed.

My windshield still sports your original decal. I would say that if you plan on continuing this tradition and eventually making a 40th anniversary I wouldn't hesitate making this one for the 35th. We could always replace the 35th with the 40th when the time comes. Either way I think it will be great and I will get a couple one for the car and one for a keepsake.

As a side note you should see my check for the 96 registry soon and thanks for taking the time to make the books I thoroughly enjoyed the first and I'm sure this one will even be be better.

Would you be willing to upload a picture of the two designs you have had in the past? The 35th year anniversary, and the generic one.

I would be willing to offer you lots of good ideas...but I've never seen the decal before!

I vote with Tom, I like the design of the old one; I like the generic version as opposed to the 35th Anniv.

I have to admit, I'm a very greedy person - I want both!! ;D I love the original decal and I hope you do have more of those made. Could the 35th anniversary decal be something in addition to the registry decal? Maybe like a half moon shape that goes below the registry decal or a simple banner type decal? That way we could add or change to the 40th, 50th etc as we all grow old(er) together. ;)

Paul, I can understand how you're itching to make a new design, but I also have to agree that the original is hard to beat.

You guys convinced me....I'll bring back the original round-gold & black design, with an updated production number, and I'll add the "half-moon" stating "35 years Of Making It Happen-1968-2003"; which will be attached at the bottom. Owners can either leave it on, or cut it off, and have just the round decal.

Sooo....I'll get on it right away.

Thanks so much for your ideas and comments--!!!

Paul.
