can anyone suggest what the contingency decals are on Dan Gurney's #12 Ford Galaxie on the right side of this photo?

Sorry I am not sure how to include a photo is a post. |

I think, but I'm not sure, there may be some footage of this car in one of the things that was done as a tribute to mr. President in either one of the Robin Miller segments or one of the Henry Ford Museum pieces. Dr. Craft (C5HM)would know for sure. I hope this helps. _________________ "And on the 8th day God created the Hemi!" |

To my eye, top row looks like:
Wynn's?-Autolite-Valvoline?-Grey Rock-Holley-RegalRide-PURE _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |

This page on the Dave MacDonald website has some really useful, high-quality photos:
https://www.davemacdonald.net/gallery/closeups/nascardaytona.htm
I think Firefly got the top row correct. The lower rows appear to be:
(M-P) (square or round decal I can't make out)
(Solder Seal)
(Air Lift)
There's also a small contingency decal (Perfect Circle?) above the Pure contingency near the A pillar. |

I am thinking now that the THIRD decal is the SECOND decal which appears on the John Rutherford and Ned Jarrett cars in that Dave McDonald link. _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |

Just to continue the detective work on this...
I think the rectangular logo that Firefly mentions in the Rutherford/Jarrett photos from the MacDonald link is Sun. If you go to this link there is a closeup of the contingency logos on Fireball Roberts car:
https://library.revsinstitute.org/digital/custom/single-image?id=325533&collection=p17257coll1
when you look at the color photo of Ned Jarrett's #11 you can see that logo is blue. The only weird thing is that this does not match any Sun Instruments/Electronics logos that I can find on the internet. Another company???
If you then look at the MacDonald site and the photo of Dave's #17 alongside Dan's #12, it looks to me like that Sun logo is next to the MP logo and above the Solder Seal. This photo also seems to confirm octopusmotor's comment about a Perfect Circle logo near the A pillar.
I also have found a better/higher resolution photo of the one from my original post that may help:
https://www.davemacdonald.net/gallery/Images/1964%20daytona%20500%20fireball%20tiny%20and%20gurney.jpg
Once again, thnks for all the input. |

Probably the small Sun Equipment decal. I think that's on the Powerslide '65-'70 contingency sheet. |

Dr. Craft asked me to share these higher resolution photos. Note that one photo is from the qualifying race and lacks some of the contingencies that were in place for the 500. Note also the missing #1 on the door.

Tom M. and Dr. Craft-
Many thanks for finding and sharing these photos; they certainly make everything crystal clear.
A great way to start the new year.

One last question...does anyone know what the small circular logo in that sits between the Autolite and Gray Rock logos? Thanks. |

The small logo I am unsure about is the one to the left of the Gray Rock logo. The old style Holley is on the right of Gray Rock.
So just to be sure, looking from front to back/left to right they are:
Wynn's/Autolite/unknown small circular logo/Gray Rock/Holley/RegalRide/Pure
Perfect Circle on the top of the fender near the A pillar
MP/small Sun Instruments rectangle/Solder Seal and Airlift below
Once again thanks for the help.
