Souvenir Friday- Travel Decals
A common practice in the 1950s and 1960s was for families to purchase souvenir decals from tourist attractions and then slide them on their Ford Country Squire station wagons. Neighbors would then be jealous of the family and their many trips to distant locations. Disneyland of course was included in this fad. These decals are the earliest ones that I have found...and feature a cool design of the Sleeping Beauty Castle. I believe the small ones were sold to place on notebooks, boxes and other small items.

There is something about the bright colors and off-register printing that I always like when it comes to these old decals. Never seen this one before!
Wow, I remember these. And yes, placing them on the side rear window along with all the other "been-there" decals was the thing to do back then.
I used to BEG my dad to put a Disneyland decal on the rear window of his car but he refused! Oh, how I wanted one of those...
