I decided to take a
detailed look at my photos from past conventions, car
shows, etc, and I discovered THIS excellent
example from the 2007 CORSA
convention in
Detroit.
I don't know
anything about the car, however, as I did not take any
other
photos of it. The decal appears
correct and completely intact, but it is
installed in the wrong location, leading me to
wonder if it is original,
NOS, or a
reproduction.
I'd
appreciate any information anybody could provide about this
car as I
would like to contact the owner.
Thanks

I am
attempting to secure quality photos of original 61-65
Corvair AC
Condenser Removal decals.
This was GM part # 3815127 and was definitely
used on all 1962-65 Corvair AC
Condensers,
probably also used on 1961, although I cannot confirm that
from
the '61 Assembly manual.
On the Early Model Corvairs the decal was
attached to the right rear end of
the
condenser, shown in the '64 Assembly manual Sheet B1.00
as item #4.
On the '65 Corvair it was
the same part number but was attached to the top
of the cardboard shroud overlying the
condenser, shown in the '65 assembly
manual Sheet B1 as item #11
If we can
get a highly detailed photo of a complete original decal it
should
be possible to have this reproduced.
To the best of my knowledge the decal
has
never been reproduced.
This is NOT the oil filter
removal sticker, which is readily available both
as NOS and reproduction items, GM part #
3814124, shown as item #5 in the
'64
Assembly manual photo.
I have a few photos of
examples of the original decal. Unfortunately, none
of these are complete - missing letters, lines,
etc.
I have posted those photos and this request on
the Corvair Center Forum at
this link: http://corvaircenter.com/phorum/read.php?1,802962
This is currently my best accounting of the
text of the decal:
CONDENSER REMOVAL
TO REMOVE
CONDENSER FOR ENGINE SERVICE
OR REPAIR
1. REMOVE 1/4 SCREWS ATTACHING
CONDENSER TO SIDE BRACKETS
2.
LIFT CONDENSER AND SHROUD OFF BRACKETS ???? AND SET BESIDE
CAR
CAUTION: HIGH PRESSURE FREON
DO NOT REMOVE HOSES
Thanks for
whatever help you can give me.
