Wounded Warrior Project: 1969 Camaro

On this 4th of July, Arizona Designs would like to reflect back on a great project we were a part of a few years ago:

In June 2009, a client came to Arizona Designs with a unique vinyl wrapping project in mind. The car was a 1969 Camaro SS owned by Philadelphia resident Carmen Brancato. Brancato came to Arizona Designs after visiting the Brooke Army Medical Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, which included the Center for the Intrepid, a multi-million dollar state of the art rehabilitation facility. Brancato wanted to do something to help the wounded men and women of our armed forces continue to receive superior care and rehabilitation so he decided to promote awareness of the Wounded Warrior Project, which has programs established to help the wounded and their families. He felt the best way to raise awareness was to vinyl wrap his ’69 Camaro.

We only had a few weeks to complete the project, but we were up to the challenge. We first designed imagery to be used on the wrap and once that was approved, we got started on the Camaro. After many tireless nights and early mornings, we finished the wrap in time for July 4th. The wrapping project was a hit at many events and locations, such as:
  • Military Bases
  • Hospitals
  • NASCAR races
  • Concerts, including Toby Keith and Brad Paisley
  • SEMA show in Las Vegas (including the 11 states it crossed to get there from PA)
  • Barry McGuire’s TV show Car Crazy on SpeedTV
  • And many more!
Arizona Designs loves to reflect on this great fundraising and awareness-raising project and we are proud to be a part of it. Please visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org for more information about this great organization. Thank you to the troops for their service and keeping America free!
