I’m a fan of pre-1970s racing cars. When a competition vehicle could be purchased from a new car dealer, driven on the street and race competitively while being a real motor vehicle.
During the 1950s and 1960s it was common to see dealer sponsors featured on competition vehicles of all sorts… either for a particular event, series of events, the entire season etc.
The 1988 Saleen Mustang remains that I have, appear to have begun as a dealer stock sales unit for Bill Valley Ford in California. So, with some brainstorming I decided to create a faux dealer logo for Big Valley… inferring they were a performance dealer… and bringing back to life the 1960s Ford Motor Company cross flags Thunderbird icon.
