Decal/Label Source

[Larry M.]

Two or three weeks ago, a thread was started by someone looking for a source for the Vehicle Certification Label found on the driver's door of C-3's. I purchased one for our 1972 from Jim Osborn Reproductions (Osborn-Reproductions.com) a number of years ago. From his on-line catalog, it looks as if DC1318 is the number for '68-'74 models. He also has sunvisor labels listed, although they are identified as 'sleeves', and therefore may differ from original examples that are adhered to the visor.

Larry,

That was me that was looking for a Vehicle Certification Label (for my '72). I found them through Corvette Central. I ordered two, received them, and:

1) They had no clear laminate over them, as did the originals
2) I could not reproduce the font style which was used by GM to print the

information on the label
3) I could not get my typewriter, nor my printer, to print on the labels so

that the printing was readable (the labels were too glossy for the ink to

adhere to).

Kevin -

I also ordered the clear mylar overlay from Osborn. Your experiences with printing on the label mirror mine exactly: No matching font, and inability to successfully print on the label's slick surface.

So, on the door jamb, is a verrrry faintly printed, incorrectly 'fonted' label. Original? Nope. Personally satisfying? Yeah, a little bit.
