My Google-fu is coming back with a big fat fail this morning so I beg for your help, input and inspiration here.... I'm looking for some funky/retro/custom stripes from the late 70's/early 80's - the sort where vivid and/or mad colours adorn the sides of cool cars (or maybe some not so cool cars but with uber cool stripes) Please no airbrushing, scallops, lacing etc.....just stripes
Here are the best I've come back with so far but I'd love to see more with greens/purples/browns etc....    Here are some 'inspiration' pics to give you the idea of the colours/patterns I am trying to find adorning sides of cars:   She can adorn the side of my car if she likes:  Obvioulsy there is the A-tam van, Starsky & Hutch Torino etc....but I'm looking more for the real funky colours & designs. Thanks muchly for any help ;D |

Well, I'll put forward some factory efforts on Australian "factory custom" panel-vans of the late 1970s. Obviously the full custom treatment was usually more full-on, but the factory efforts reduce the general custom trends to some sort of "executive summary". Holden Sandman:  Sandmans were available as a ute as well as the van, but the Sandman utes are incredibly rare.     Ford Sundowner (Escort and Falcon):  Check out the moustache! Attracting women must've been so simple in the 1970s, all you needed was a moustache and a brightly coloured van and you were set!  ;D  Chrysler Valiant Drifter   I found this when looking for vans, never knew there was a Drifter pack option on the Charger! This Ford ute had some pretty cool stripes as well:  |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

EDIT: Please no airbrushing, scallops, lacing etc.....just stripes
Thanks Dude - I appreciate the edit It was there from the beginning, but probably didn't stand out enough (my bad ;D) Nothing against 'brushing or stencil or scallops etc....just fancied seeing more of the stripes - they often get overlooked. I love the look myself and want some ideas for a future project. Thanks again for the input everyone  |
