Bronco banners for the garage

I decided I wanted some Bronco garage art so I tracked down some high quality (> 10MP) pictures from Google Images and had them printed onto vinyl banners via the online site Vistaprint. The site is very DIY and you upload the image yourself and then pick the output (banner, poster, picture, etc.). These are 2.5' x 4' on outdoor vinyl with grommets. I happened to catch their 50% off sale and the total cost shipped was $60 for both. I just got these today and unrolled them which is why they are still wrinkled. I think they look good enough that I will probably try to gather some more high quality images and print more next time they have a sale. If anybody has >10 MP pictures they want to share please let me know. Am happy to share those that I found too.

Very cool! I have a great shot of my '75 that was in the calendar a couple of years ago- I will have to see if I still have that pic in unedited size.

Sending you a PM Ksm.

I don't know if the pictures on this web link are 10MP or not, but this is one of the largest collection of Bronco pictures I have ever come across. Before opening the link make sure you have time to view or you will be late for that next appointment you were supposed to be at.

Thanks Chad. I think I found the Baja Bronco picture in here. I think technically a lower resolution picture will work, say > 5 MP, but figure it is safer the image quality will be better with bigger originals. I wish some of the old Bronco ads or postcards could be made bigger. Those would make for some cool pieces.

Those look great man. Would be cool to hang a before / after pic in the bronco man cave.

Took me a few minutes to find on here but one of my all time favorite calendar shots, January 2012. This would look great as a banner.

I'm going to order two or three more, including at least one with a smaller image size and see how it comes out. Will report back once it gets here. If quality is good that will open up many more pictures that can be used.

Ordered two more with the following. Kerri's picture was around 6 MP (thanks Kerri!) and the ad was 3.5 MP. Should have them in about 10 days and will report back then.

Definitely let us know as I'm sure I could find a place for one (or many) of Kerri's pictures as bronco art!

Received the other two banners today. Think they look good even with the lower resolution original pictures. Excuse the poor lighting and photos. The banners look lighter in the pictures than they do in reality.
