Default Anybody seen these before?

This was found in My Chevelle during restoration.
Obviously glued to the inside window,like a Window Sticker & fell down into Window glass stowage area.

Your car was a test vehicle?

Kinda looks like it could have been an emissions test vehicle. I'm asking some friends at the EPA to see if they know.

I've seen that second one on the windows of new Pontiacs when i used to work at a local dealership in about 98-2000. They came on the windows of cars that were delivered prior to having the window stickers.. the window stickers were sent to the dealer withina week or so and were affixed to the glass by someone at the dealership. Sometimes these cars would come off the truck with a blank window sticker, then when the real stickers came, they took the blank ones out... why they didnt come with stickers from day one i don't know. It was a common thing though, I saw it occur on many cars... could they have used this same sticker from 1970 til the present? I may even have one laying around, I'm gonna have to go diggin'.

Well they weren't where i thought they were, but SOMEWHERE, i have about 10 of those... when they came off the glass without tearing I saved them because I thought they were neat... evidently not neat enough to put them some place where I could locate them 6 years later... now I'm gonna be up all night rooting through stuff...

Another option is that is was produced before they had finished EPA testing, therefore it wasn't a saleable unit yet.
Do you know the selling dealer for your car?

Thanks Kurt,let me know what you find.
My Dealer was R&S Chevrolet in Joplin Mo.
Kansas leeds Plant started assembly 10/24/69,and truck off loaded at the dealership 10/30/69.Shes 35 this week.
You too Cjoe,as I am LMAO over here.
Lights on till 3AM....I know that feeling!
I talked to Ed Schoenthaller,(MR.ED),and he said that these labels were placed on Vehicles to inform the sales people NOT to sell them yet.They had to have a Monroney label affixed first.That could mean ANYTHING from a special ordered Zone rep. unit,to a Courtesy car,etc.

The top sticker I've never seen, but i bet if you go to a local dealer tomorrow and watch them unload new cars off the transporter, some will have that second sticker on them...if it was indeed in your 70 Chevelle originally, they've used that same sticker for over 30 years.
