The Blue Horizontal GM Cerification Drivers Door Label became mandatory on ALL GM cars starting with the 1970 production year starting in August 1969.
It showed VIN# & Month/Year assembled.

So does that mean that late 69 Camaros would have had the tag?

Yes, also the door on the later cars that got the sticker is formed slightly different. It's real obvious when you see an early and a late door side by side.

If the Aug '69 and later Camaro's received the decal, what did the earlier models have (late '68, early '69)?

[Mr70]

The GM Cars built before the 1970 model year recieved a Blue Foil GM 2"square decal on the Drivers door.It did not have date or Cars VIN# on it.I am not sure how early this started,but believe it was not used after the New 1970 VIN# & Date label came out.

i believe the blue GM decal was only used on 67 camaros, correct me if i am wrong [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img], so that would make the only thing on the 69 camaro door the tire pressure sticker?

[RS69]

in john hooper's camaro book from a to z, there is a picture that shows the inside of the drivers door on a 69. it shows the tag and makes reference to it, with the car build date and vin no.

That would make sense if it was a late built 69 Camaro.
The 1970 Camaro and Corvette did not come out until Feb./March 70,so they continued the 69 Camaro and Corvette bodystyle into the early 70 months.Thus it would have the Horizontal Blue GM Vin# and Date Certification label.

Rick,

For Corvettes (I'll defer on the other cars in the Chevy line to those who are more knowledgeable), 1969 production ended on December 19, 1969... 1970 Corvette production started on January 5, 1970 so there was no "carry over" between the 1969 model year and the 1970 calendar year. I was under the impression that Camaro production for both Norwood and Van Nuys also ended prior to 1970, but as noted, I'll wait for one of the Camaro guys to verify that. As you stated, the official introduction for the 1970 Corvette was in mid-February... If I'm not mistaken, the Camaro was introduced at the same time.

As far as the door label that contained the serial number/build month & year, Corvettes apparently began using them beginning in September 1969... I have never seen an original August 1969 Corvette with this label.

By the way, the 1970 Chevelle on your website is outstanding! Beautiful car!
