Hey PJ! Really cool stuff! I must confess that when I was allowed into Wet Willies Water World, that the only stickers I saw, said something like "Not Responsible For lost or stolen.....No Head first ...." lol!

Wet Wallies Water World. Hone of the Ear Canal. You can't go head first or you will end up with water on the brain!

I got these decals on EBay, They are a pretty good find.

Those are really cool. I take it they were intended to be put on the windows of workers' cars?

Thanks everyone. I find them to be pretty cool . Steve Nelson- that would be my guess...I've never seen any pictures with cars displaying them, but that sure doesn't mean it didn't happen.
i am going to look into having them reproduced as stickers for the upcoming airshow season.

smart move!!! but don't let the copyright / trademark lawyers throw a wrench in it. be careful with the company names present on those. the others i'd say will cause no headaches. nobody can dispute the named vega!! named for a golden years 30's airplane & 70's automobile piece of junk!! i'd bet a good printer / graphic designer could make some clear adhesive repros like nothing!! the water soluble thing for cars / planes is now all but archaic.
