Window sticker
If we mean original as far as the window sticker being generated at the plant, than no, this was not generated from the plant. However, we do see window stickers that are typed up at the dealership. This looks to be the case. The form is correct and does have the perfs on all sides. Looks to be a Brass Hat car, we have original samples of the same stamp for cars used at the dealership. Too many of the ECL codes look to be correct for it to be a repro. The car is an April produced car so it was ordered prior. All the pricing reflects the price changes of June 1965, so these prices would not have been the original prices for the car. Again, I'm guessing it was used at the dealership and when it came time to sell it they typed up the window sticker based on the current pricing at that time and perhaps had a damaged window sticker or car shipper to use as reference for the RPO's and ECL codes.

That is very interesting. This car was the Popular Hotrodding test car on loan from Covina Chevrolet in 65. This window sticker came with when Dennis purchased the car a few years ago.

Printers
The printers that were used to print the window stickers and other documents were the IBM 1401, 1460 and finally the IBM 1403. We built our font program from original samples of the IBM 1403 which was used for many years at all GM plants.

I'm sure there were a few unusual situations where a sticker needed to be reproduced at the dealer or zone level, and then it undoubtedly would have been hand typed. But on a car this rare (65 Z16) I personally would need to see and/or know more than a typed window sticker as proof of legitimacy.

The car is well documented, with owner history and certification letters. Well known car in the Z16 world. Just curious about the window sticker.
