Pete M Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 :D some day I'll figure out how to scan it properly. maybe even make copies! :yes: I also picked up an old calender image (roughly 16x10) today was a good day to be a comanche nut.
btm24 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 VERY COOL!!! :clapping: may I ask what that put you back? and where did you get them from? Brandon
Automan2164 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 GAH! How do you mis-spell "Comanche" when its on the poster!? Curse you Pete. :fs2: Rob L. ;)
mjeff87 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 from a quick glance, you could easily mistake the gent in the second pic to be Tom Swatzell.... Image Not Found
mvusse Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Yeah, that Al Junior poster was quite a find. One of the greatest Indy Car drivers ever!
HOrnbrod Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Yeah, that Al Junior poster was quite a find. One of the greatest Indy Car drivers ever! That he was. But I do not recall Little Al ever driving SCAA trucks or whatever the poster represents. :hmm:
Pete M Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 stadium racing. it was big back in the day. no, I don't have these 2. yet. upper left image: top image: and it was an ebay find. :thumbsup:
HOrnbrod Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Ah, thanks Pete. I was out of the USofA when that was popular. Amazing how versatile and competitive the MJs were in several venues. Good find. :cheers:
lostissues Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 stadium racing. it was big back in the day. no, I don't have these 2. yet. upper left image: top image: and it was an ebay find. :thumbsup: I picked up those 2 a while ago, I gave them to my brother in law. unfortunately the guy only had one of the sketch ones. I have the 3 pane racing one but it is ripped in half :( and I have a side by side Cherokee/Comanche one my buddy also found a sign featuring a Comanche in his grandfathers stuff from when he owned a dealership, I have yet to pick it up. now I have to find a frame to put the posters in.
87Warrior Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Pete - I would do bbbbbbaaaaaddddd things to get a high quality scan of that first poster. Very cool. Any copy shop should have a wide format scanner that you could use to scan and save the image to a flash drive. Stay away from chain stores as they may freak with the Jeep name on there. Lost - I would also be willing to try and patch your ripped poster together in photoshop, if you could get the two halves scanned. Then you would just need to get it printed.
ComancheKid45 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Awesome finds. I picked up an 88 model year factory plastic wrapped Comanche Dealer Brochure this week 8)
AMCJeepMJ Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 So, what's the deal with the upside-down grilles? I see it all the time. Does it signify anything other than "gee, we can't put the grille in right."?
lostissues Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 hey Pete, you have any idea how you are going to display them? I was looking at poster frames online and I think the price is way to high, I contemplated making my own but the price of acrylic is also ridiculous. the 2 posters I have are 25 1/2" by 38" and 20 1/2" by 54" dunno, maybe I am just cheap but over $50 for the (25.5x38) and around a $100 for the other seams like a lot to me. If only I could find a cheap source for acrylic plastic :dunno:
Pete M Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 haven't looked into frames yet. I'm a bit behind too, as this isn't my first poster that needs a home. and if the unsidedown grill is good enough for Mr. Unser, it's good enough for me. :D
Herc Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Check Walmart for the poster frames - 27 x 40 $19.98 but that is the largest one they have.
