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.
