67 GTO Conv't. Survivor

[mockingbird812]

I see the "GM" square sticker on each of your doors (pass. side for blue goat and driver's side for green one). I did not know those were correct? When did they start/stop putting those on there and is that a Pontiac thing? I thot for Chev. that that sticker was only correct starting in '70??

I'd appreciate yr input

Sam,

I don't have my book here, but, as I recall they were supposed to be on the passenger's side door only and are correct for 67 GTO's (and I suspect other Pontiacs?). Most guys put them on both, which is wrong to my recollection. Then again, it has been at least 5 years since I have restored a '67.

I can't speak to the placement/ years used on Chebbies but am sure plenty of members here can chime in on that.

You're a Mopar guy, think of it as GM's version of the Mopar "crown" on the passenger's fender

Sam:

I went and looked at the GM Mark of Excellence tags in the doors. They are both the same color blue and they both look as though they have always been there. I don't believe that they were added.

Also, as you pointed out, Chevrolet began using these as part of their commitment to quality.

Thanks, Ed

Didn't Chevy start in 67 as well? I believe Corvettes started then.

Thanks guys. Colin, one of my Mopars precedes the Mopar "crown" by a year or two ? She'll be up at the Pavillions this weekend w/ a fresh tank of Sunoco 110 - howz bout the Comer/Cana Couple?

I rang up Scott Tiemann to see what his opinion was on the GM decal- he said that to his knowledge it was passenger's door only, although everybody adds two when they repaint or restore. The GTOAA does not deduct for having it either way according to Scott. His other comment was that my blue car is the best original 67 he has seen and that was one of the things it confirmed- one GM decal. Of course, my opinion is that some cars may have got two, some one, and some none? It was GM in the 60's! At least their gas pedals don't stick

Sam and Bruce- unfortunately I will not be at the Pavillions, I am racing at PIR this weekend and escaping to take Ms Cana to a non-paper plate dinner on Sat night. I was at PV last week and those mean rain drops must have scared you locals away! If you guys get bored this weekend, head over to PIR, good vintage race going on Sat and Sun. Free to get in, tell them you are on my crew- go to Gate 8.

See Ya,
Colin

My 67 SS427 Impala is original paint and there is one on both doors. Im pretty sure thats the way they all came.Like Colin said they probably just forgot to put one on his drivers door.
