Curtis Turner 1950 Oldsmobile Decal Sheet (1/25 or 1/24)
Curtis Turner was born in Floyd, Virginia and began his racing career in 1946 when he finished 18th in a field of 18 contestants in a race at Mount Airy, North Carolina. However, he rebounded and won his next race. During his career, he won 360 races in several different racing series, including 22 in the NASCAR Convertible Division in 1956, and 17 wins in the NASCAR Grand National series (now Sprint Cup). From 1950 to 1954, he drove for Oldsmobile being billed as the Blond Blizzard of Virginia. He switched to driving Fords in 1954. He eventually acquired the nickname of Pops, allegedly because of the way he would "pop" other drivers on the track.
Curtis Turner won three races in 1950 in his famous Olds and held the pole at the first Southern National at Darlington. The car markings were changed from race to race as was common at time. This decal includes markings to build the Darlington Pole Car and other variations. To date, we nor Gofer Racing has been able to find a color picture of the car. However, we do know that Curtis drove red cars.
Gofer Racing now presents Curtis Turner's decals for his 1950 Olds to fit the new Revell kit. These Officially-Licensed Gofer Racing waterslide decals are designed and silk-screen printed in the USA for 1/24 and 1/25 scale plastic model car kits and include a reference placement sheet.
