Re: Blue door sticker

I've been looking for a 71', do you know what they look like when compared to an original ? letter size ? clear overlay ? Steve

Re: Blue door sticker

When compared to an original they will not be perfect but much better than none at all. I payed $300. for one that was close to perfect.

I had mine done by Steve Windham windham50@bellsouth.net

I took a good digital picture, and sent it to him. He replicated it exactly including the fonts, smudges and the degree of crookedness (sp) Looks great. It will still look newer than it should but somethings you cant get around. ...cost $25

I got one from ECS Automotive @ 636-207-7767 or www.ecsautomotive.com for my early '71, fonts, spacing and angle of stamping were exactly as my original that had seen better days. I had taken a picture of the original and sent it to him, he duplicated it perfect.

Re: Blue door sticker

If you have both the original and the one you had made thease are some things that I find different from a judging standpoint. The size of the GM logo,the width of the blue lines, the spacing of the lettering and numbers,the corners on the overlay and the blue sticker, and the fonts on all the numbers and letters both typed and printed on the bare label.
If you bought one for $50. or less that passes all the tests you made a great deal. We have a person who posts often on this site who has hundreds of pictures of labels so it has been well researched.

I lost 1 point with the $25 eBay blue decal. It's not worth the expense of the more correct $250-300 decal in my opinion.

Lyle, I've seen some of those labels and it sure helps to duplicate the font, spacing, etc. from those. My 1970 didn't have one to copy from so I had to get one from scratch like from the eBay one I posted. Not precise but better than what I didn't have. It came with the mylar overlay. I did research them, though. There are differences in words and lettering on the labels between the 1970 and 1972. I can't speak for other years.

Scott: there is a difference between early '72 and late '72. GVWR information as well as "PASSENGER CAR" was added to comply with Jan 1, 1972 federal regulations. I believe '70 thru early '72 were the same, at least according to the research I did. I researched like you, but found this early '72/late '72 to be important to me as I needed a decal for my very early '72.

Steve Windham did mine and I have been happy, although note that the blue is a bit darker on his decal than I believe the OEM's were. Initially, I thought the difference was due to age/fading, however, ALL of the originals I have photos of are exactly the same shade. His font's 'prolly a little different also, but I am satisfied.
