Title: Sure would like one of these stickers
Post by: proford1 on May 20, 2020, 12:12:21 PM
my car was ordered by Al Grillo Ford but a invoice change was made and car was delivered to and sold at Gotham Ford. i could probably have a sign shop to remake it for me. but does anyone know someone that may already have them or a good scan of it?

I'm not sure anyone every offered either original or reproductions? I've got two white Gotham cars. I'd go for a couple?

Black sticker on rear of my 69 GT500 bumper :D

I do wonder what it would look like on a white car  ;)

Ah, but the question remains, where would you put it? Center decklid, above the key slot? Or left hand lower, or right hand lower. From the cars I've seen over the years, center and left hand lower seem to be the place for a Gotham Ford dealer decal.

Center left the idea is to have the driver behind you see the dealership name.  That's where it's most in their view

My 68 is a NY,NY Hertz car "prepared" by Gotham. The 67 is a Gotham car also.

Frankly, I have NEVER seen these on the cars even when I was looking at their inventory in the storage garage over on 53rd and 11th.

The door was always wide open there and you could just walk in and pick a car. Never saw a Cobra in there though. Those were always in the showroom over on 1st.

I'm a west side "down town" kind of guy as Billy Joel would say?  ;)

Someone get me some good artwork and I'll make them up in black and white and send them to those that want them.

Pete,

When I first say the Playboy logo on her blouse, I immediately thought of the 10 Playboy convertibles. There was only one that was white with saddle interior and that was #2476 a GT-500. Is it possible that this was that car?

No, the picture was taken at Gotham Ford. That is Tish Howard.

The Playboy cars were originally sent to the midwest (Wisconsin and Minnesota)

Vinny identified this car as KR, but I dont have the number handy.

Thanks Pete, I knew the cars went to Northwestern. Just thought this might have been a promotional at Gotham with Playboy Bunnies. By the way, that is a GREAT vintage picture.

It was, but playmate promotions were nation wide.

The car is # 3992. There are many more are in the new 2020 Shelby World Registry. You can find information like the present owner, Craig Koppersmith (Houston, TX) whi is the son of the original owner.  It will be the best money you ever spent.
