Genuine George Barris Car Stripes
A set of decals featuring pinstriping designs by Dean Jeffries.
Robert Tindale remembers the decals
In the late 1950s Robert Tindale was living in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. "I would take the bus across the river to Port Huron, Michigan and at a JC Pennys department store buy these decals for $1.49," Robert told Sondre Kvipt of Kustomrama in March of 2020. "The long narrow ones were perfect for bicycle fenders and I would sell them for a profit, afer applying them on my own bicycle to show how cool they were."[1]
