Hey maybe your car is the 1st EPA tested 1970 SS Chevelle L78 automatic. Red with black stripes and red interior. There has to be a premium on that! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Seriously very cool stuff. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I don't know why you never saw any Frank, but I know the PA dealership I worked for sold Caddy's and Pontiacs, and I saw them on the windows of both many times...Usually only stayed on there a few days and were removed when the factory stickers arrived... I specifically remember them on ALL the first load of 99 Grand Am's, which were a brand new design in 99. Still can't find my stash of them though, maybe I pitched them in one of my wild clean-up sprees... I doubt it though. If I turn them up I'll post pics, but I'm 99.9% certain they are identical to the ones posted above.

Well, i stumbled on them this afternoon... I wasn't even looking for them, (which I'm sure is why they turned up.) I see the pics in the thread have already been removed, but I am pretty sure this is identical to the one posted earlier. I am certain this one came from a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am window.

It does look close,except the one found in my 70 Chevelle doesn't reflect a part number,& the center text is slightly different.
I didn't realize I deleted them from photobucket.

Just a theory, but it was common for GM to ship cars ahead of the new model year release date. Since they would start building cars for dealer inventory while the current model year was still in the showroom, the new year's cars would be in the back lot, without window stickers. My dad bought a '69 Cutlass from Superior Olds in Detroit, two weeks before the "Official" release date, when he said that he wanted it now and paid cash. The dealer never put their name on the car, and we had to promise that we would keep a piece of tape over the VIN until the release date, and not tell anyone where we bought the car. The Olds looked pretty much like the '68, so they figured no one would notice.
When was the car built?

The top sticker I can't comment on but the other I have also seen over the years on new model year vehicles. I was told that they will be on cars for which the invoice has not been prepared and thus it is not on the dealers floor-plan yet. They cannot sell the vehicle until they get an invoice and this is the only thing that makes its a legal vehicle. No invoice, no title can be issued.

While I don't recall seeing the sticker, I ordered a new 1987 Silverado pickup. It came in early August of 1986 but the invoice did not come in till around Sept 1. Dealer could not sell me the truck as it was not his to sell yet since he had not been charged for it. Once the model year is under way, they invoice proceeds the vehicle and is usually generated the day the car is built. As with my truck, the prices had not been set and that was the reason for the delay.
