ISO Nissan Dream Garage Poster

[DCooke]

I'm looking for a 30"x24" Datsun Dream garage poster. I used to have one, but it was damaged in my last move & I would like to find another one in good condition to frame. Another option would be to get a hi-Rez scan/photo of the original, I could display that on my Samsung The Frame TV if its a good 4K resolution. I searched the google & could only find a low-rez version out there... anyone have a spare?

I may have touch-up paint for that!

I have one that I haven't decided to keep or sell. Where would one go to get a high resolution scan done? FedEx Copy Center?

Not too many places would be able to "scan" something poster-size. And even if a photo lab could do it, I bet it would be expensive. If I can't find one to purchase, I would be happy with a 3840 x 2160 pixel digital photo of the poster, which could be easily done by someone with a nice full-frame DSLR. I've done similar shots of my daughters artwork when she was in art school. With a bit of patience and some pro photo gear, I got very nice results of some large artwork for her portfolio. Anyways, I knew it would be a long shot to find a higher resolution of the Dream Garage poster. So, unless someone's got some photo skills, I might be out of luck. Or if anyone happens to have a spare poster laying around...

Years ago I went into the local Nissan dealer and ask if he had a copy of the Dream Garage poster I could buy. He led me back to the employee lunchroom and pulled about a dozen of them off of the top of the Pepsi machine all rolled up together with a rubber band and just gave them to me. Unfortunatly, they have all been givien away over the years. I believe I have seen some for sale on E-bay.

I’ve been coveting one for years, long before this thread started. Did come across two a while back that were both in very bad condition (and at a ridiculous price) - A hard pass. Eventually I gave up looking, but apparently my wife (or Santa?) didn’t …

I worked for a Jack Scoville Nissan back when these were released, and each dealer got a sleeve with 50 of them or so, I probably still have a few in my collection-- just need to find out where they are. (I have one framed in my office too).

lol … 50 of them would fund a good retirement Michael!

Sure are rare today. Especially ones in good condition.

WOW! I don't remember that commercial. Since it was so long it probably didn't play too much in that long form?

They originally ran it during the 1996 Super Bowl - Can only imagine what that two minutes cost them.

Kai, that’s an awesome find and a great gift you received! I’m still on the hunt for one. There was one I found online last January, but I missed the sale. I did however grab a half-way decent image of the posting and cleaned it up in my photo editor. Looks ok on my Samsung The Frame display in my home office.
