68 Nova GM door sticker?
 
Was there a GM MARK OF EXCELLENCE door sticker on the 68 Nova? If so was it Aqua Blue or Dark Blue?

I do not believe these stickers should be found on any GM product before '70. I defer to the experts, however. I will say that this is one of the most prolific stickers misused!

I believe it was actually used earlier...our 68 Nova had one, but, I believe 67 or 68 was the last year on the Nova.

Another good trivia question for Greg Roberts..

I think 1967 was the last year for that sticker but????? Sam you are correct that and the "caution fan" makes the decal people millions. HA!

Here is my broadcast sheet. Reason I ask is GroundUP catalog web site shows the GM door sticker as Aqua Blue (they call it green) for 68 Nova, and show a Dark Blue for 69 / 70.

FWIW...The decals you buy today are not even close to correct. Even for the correct application, 1967. The NOS ones I have are made of .012&quot; thick anodized aluminum. They are also embossed and come with a adhesive back. The ones shown below, are actually turquoise blue in color. It's very hard to get a good photo with all the reelections going on.

Well true, so maybe I should just go back in time when I was around 18:

1. Numbers matching? - Yea, I live at 396 Maiden Lane.
2. Correct paint codes? - I don't need no stinkin paint!
3. Correct door sticker? - Door sticking?, just put some white lube on it!
4. Careful with that born with engine. - &quot;Hey, blow it up so we can put in a bigger one from the junk yard&quot;!

I'm just another dope with a 68 Nova!

Not sure what your last post is trying to say Doug.

I guess I should just drive my 68 Nova and not worry about a door sticker.

Throw a caution fan sticker in the door jam and call it a day. Enjoy it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Doug, there are many here that take originality and accuracy very seriously. When you ask a question you never know where its going to go, but the facts always prevail, opinions are plenty, and maybe we all may even learn something...my 2 cents.

That is the prevailing belief. But I might have been an early late 68 thing or a hit or miss thing that year.

If you did not know it came with one, leave it off. You will catch less flack on it.

Greg.
