Here is the logo. I am not sure what it was for, I think something to do with drinking alcohol among a group of the drivers? Not sure.

Sorry, I have no idea. This picture was from the #26 Curtis Turner 63 Ford. As far as I know, no model decal makers have made this logo either. |

thanx
i know that Spark made the 63 model at 1/43 (resin) with this decal on C pillars & dashboard , since a good picture ( i can't find anymore ... ) shows it very clearly
thanx for your help ! |

If I'm not mistaken, Old Crow is the liquor used in drinking flaming shots is it not? You know... Fireballs? _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

Don't forget Fireball got his nickname from being a baseball pitcher.

I know it's not much help in 1:43, but this logo should be part of the comprehensive sheet in 1:25 for Fireball's 1963-64 Galaxies that will coming soon as I can get my mind back in the artwork business and/or I suddenly figure out a way to add about six more hours to the day. (I hand-draw the lettering and then do Illustrator work from scans of the drawings. It takes a lot of time, but it makes all the difference.)
Again, I know it's not much help in 1:43, but I did want to reassure everyone that the promised Fireball artwork is in process, and will be worth the wait.

Old Crow was a popular whiskey in the 1960's.
Sponsorship? Who knows???? |

I just saw this. I'm a Kentucky boy so bourbon is a favorite topic of mine. Old Crow was a cheap bourbon made by Jim Beam Distillery. Their ad's used various images of crows from the typical "bird" to the more stylized crow with a top hat and a monicle. It was not a great sipping bourbon (a little harsh) but it could get the job done if the need was there. _________________ Dennis

It would make sense that may have been some type of contingency deal if you carried the pic. I was reading about their advertising history and in 1955 Old Crow took out an ad in "College English", the journal of the National assn. of Teachers of English offering $250 for every literary reference to their product.
Given that, it's not much of a stretch to think they would grab an opportunity if they saw it.

Patrick, those look REALLY good ! I'm particularly impressed with how realistic you got the wheels and tires to look. Very nice work.
