Wasn't it also common for the actual dealer to type up a window sticker ?

During an NCRS technical event a few weeks ago, Grenning shared photos of not only dealer errors but also factory errors on documents, trim tags, vin tags and even engine stamps. Human error is not a good metric for determining authenticity. Font style and type, maybe...

Default Unsuspecting buyers with repro documents

The ebay listed window sticker has no indication of color for the car listed. Every REAL 1967 Corvette window sticker I ever saw had the color of the car on it, that's what I remember, but I am old, so take it for what it's worth. Just offering an Opinion, and you know what those are like.

Was not my intention to discredit you in any way. Matter of fact, what you point out does make one want to look closer at the window sticker and scrutinize.
My reasoning was that there are so many documents now pointed out as fakes and people using spelling or misprints as reasoning, I'm starting to wonder if real ones now have been mistakenly considered fake.
My father still has all his paper work for his 69 GTO he bought new (and still owns) I'm now half tempted to pull it all out and start combing it over for discrepancies, lol.

Those were my thoughts. Since we already know of mis-stamped trim tags and the like. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't out in left field someplace. Thanks MosportGreen66.

Thanks Charley. That's what I was thinking, hence the reason for my question.
