Default GM Kleer View Bottle label

Does anybody know a source for a correct repro fluid bottle label? Car is a 65 Biscayne and all the reproductions I have seen are terrible. I'm almost at the point of locating a decent original and making my own reproduction.
Thanks!
Steve

We just bought one for our 62 from Show Cars automotive, can't comment on authenticity since we did not have anything to compare to.

They have 2 versions:
This one
http://www.show-cars.com/cgi-bin/com...amp;key=HMN298

And this one

http://www.show-cars.com/cgi-bin/com...amp;key=HMN299

If anyone else has a better source I'd like to know as well as I am not up to speed on these. Maybe Don can generate enough interest to do one or both???

This is the original one I have a picture of.

It is in a completely original 65 Impala SS built very close to our car at the same factory. Thanks for the links and information. I will contact Jody.

The one you show as orignal for your 65 is listed as the correct one for earlier cars in my previous links, does Show Cars have them reversed?

Thanks

Right, this is what I am confused about, as you would normally expect it to use the style with the red stripe on he label. I just found this great web page for a 65 Z16 restoration. Check out the label about 2/3 down.

Hmmmmmmm.........can anyone else shed some light on this one?

It appears there are 2 styles/versions. Anyone know which one is correct for what years?

Version #1

Jake,
I believe '62 was the last year for the Kleerview (black & white) label. The fluid should be green.

Thanks Verne - you're in agreement with what Show Cars is saying. Wonder why the pictures that Steve posted in this thread of original(?) 1965 cars also show the black and white label.
