Why do some booklets say Printed in USA and others say Litho in USA

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

Any ideas on this,I am waiting to pull the trigger on a car but am unsure about the POP.

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

Is this a Canadian built or U.S built car? My Oshawa built 69 Pontiac paperwork (protect-o plate card/warranty book and owners manual) all say "Printed in Canada"

It is a LA car

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

I have a original ( junkyard car) 1970 protecto book. On the back it says LITHO IN U.S.A. part number 3970672. The car was sold on 12/13/69. At Harold Chevrolet Bloomington MN. 164690J153924. Earl

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

Thanks for your reply,I wonder if the 1969 and newer had the LITHO IN USA and the 1968 and earlier had the PRINTED IN USA . May someone with a 68 POP will reply.

Looks like the LITHO IN USA was a 1969 thing to me.

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

The 68 owner protection plan books I have. Say Printed in U.S.A. on the back. They are all Janesville WI plant cars. Earl

May built 69 black COPO POP says LITHO IN U.S.A. 3955560 The car sold new at Jack Maxton Chevrolet Columbus, Ohio I got the the paperwork from the original owner. Good Luck Doug

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

One quick question. I found the trim sheet under the rear seat and it's dated 4/28/71 and the car was sold ten days later? Was this common? How long did it take them to get the interior in the car and out the door? Not familiar with the production process. It just raised a brow because my other Nova was built in December of 69 and it sat at Ammon R. Smith for almost 5 months.

My 05A Norwood built 69 Camaro has part number 3955560 and says 'Litho in U. S. A.' Car sold new at Jack Maxton Chevrolet in Columbus, OH.

thanks firez

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

Do many of your guys POPs have the serial # of the car punched out along one of the top edges of the booklet?

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

I think the punched serial #'s may have been a '68 only practice. I've never seen it on '69 and later, or on any '67's.

Re: protecto-plate booklets
 

Mine it not punched and it is a 68 LA car. I have heard it was a very sparatic practise.
