Canadian Window Sticker Help?

[njsteve]

I am valiantly trying to get an accurate reproduction of the window sticker for my Ontario delivered 72 Firebird and I'm on my third attempt. They keep coming back missing stuff. The most recent was missing the standard equipment paragraph at the top, a destination cost and the Canadian equipment charge. What's up with the $0 Air Conditioning fee?


Does anyone have an example of an original window sticker from a Canadian delivered car? 1972 would be the perfect year.

Here's the latest version. By all logic it should continue onto a second page if the missing items were input.

You best bet would be to try the Canadian poncho site.

My first thought was, &quot;Haven't you tried the PY site?&quot; but then I remembered you're on it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

I think the Canadian site mentioned may be a logical place to try.

One of the Carl's on Canadian Poncho had a Canada delivery SD car he documented and sold a few years back so may be a good guy to hook up with?
Plus Todd the CP founder who's on this site too has a mid 70's Cdn. delivery Firebird and may be able to help?
Don't miss this month's CP feature car, a '61 Canadian Poncho W-Power bubbletop!

Here's a couple leads that may help, sorry if a goose chase but if either goes anywhere it may be worth looking at any paperwork they may have?

1 - What's the 71/72 Firebird survivor steel wheel/moon caps car I'm thinking of that we looked at here a few years ago, on eBay maybe or a member's car?
Anyone know what car I'm thinking of, stick car maybe but either way wasn't it a Canadian delivery and maybe out Vancouver way?

2 - Maybe you know of this one but I recall reading about a car very similar to yours, even LMP delivered too but maybe a 73?
Sorry if I'm mixing up car stories but was maybe a dealer demo later sold and stored/seldom driven but appeared periodically on the streets of London?


Best o' luck w/ your quest!

I submitted my info and am awaiting a response to make my log-in work. I had no idea such a site existed! Hopefully I can get some kind of answer.

I am curious: for you Canadians, when you go to a new car dealer, is there a similar window sticker even in the window on cars up there? The reason we have them in the US is due to the 1959 law that was sponsored by Senator Munroney, (the reason window stickers are called &quot;Munroneys&quot. The law made it mandatory that specific items had to be listed on a sheet in the window of every new car or face a serious fine for each offense. This consumer protection law was the result of too many dealer ripoffs of customers being charged extra for items that were already standard equipment.

YES, WE HAVE WINDOW STICKERS HERE IN CANADA.

Were they the same as the US versions back in the 1970s? Anyone have a vintage example?

Here's a Canadian Poncho thread on the Window Sticker topic w/ some examples.

AWESOME! There is even a 72 Corvette original sticker photo!

Ok great and hopefully you can hook up w/ the fellas in the CP thread.
Thinking further on the 2'nd car I was referring to a couple posts above, I'm pretty sure it was a London car but may've been a Sinclair Pontiac car if not LMP?
I've searched but can't find anything on either car, anyone else here remember these?
