Default corvette billboard

Guys,

can anyone point me in the direction of where I could purchase a VERY large poster of the 1978 Billboard poster?
It said something like "We Set the Pace" with a pic of the 1978 Pace Car.
http://www.antiquesnavigator.com/d-1...ad-poster.html
The link above is for the actual billboard poster - that's a tad large for me

It's for my man cave and looking for something that's approx 12 feet wide (maximum), height is not an issue..

Thanks

Hard to say. That looks like a dealership poster. Once in a while you see them on Ebay. Do a search on Ebay and you'll see various 1978 posters of various sizes.

Ralph,

thanks, but I'm chasing the Pace Car one, not the Silver anniversary one.

Did numerous searches on ebay and the net, but cant find one of a suitable size..

Have you thought about having one printed for you? Maybe a sign shop or something...

Here is something I threw together in a few minutes in Photoshop. I know it isn't right but all I had to go on was that one picture of the poster laying in the floor.

I was going to say "Where do I get the artwork"? BUT

I resized it to be about 12' wide and it was a tad fuzzy but not pixel-ey. I can send it to you in a PNG or PSD file that you can take to a sign shop. If you have a better picture of the original I can make it look more like it.

I googled it and then downloaded the highest resolution one I could find. Send me your e-mail so I can send it to you. It is too big to post here.
