All our window sticker and document templates are custom created, we do not use pre printed templates.
These generic templates are unfortunatly not "Correct" or true to the originals in many ways,
and are sold overall for multiple years.

All our window stickers and documents are created with the correct IBM fonts as used by GM for that time period.
Each year had differences, changes were made (some slight, some major) that classify each model year.
We use the appropriate template based on year, model, build factory, and
production month, of your vehicle.

History of the Window Sticker

The Monroney Sticker or window sticker is a label required in the United
States to be displayed in all new automobiles. It includes the listing of
certain official information about the car. The window sticker was named
after Almer Stillwell "Mike" Monroney, a United States Senator from
Oklahoma. In 1955 Senator Mike Monroney chaired a subcommittee of
the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee that investigated
complaints from car dealerships in the United States about abusive
treatment by manufacturers.

The Subcommittee continued working and investigating deceptive practices
by car dealerships. Since there was no price disclosed on each car, dealers
could inflate the manufacturer's suggested retail price to give the impression
that buyers received a significant discount allowance, or higher value for the
used car they traded.

There were also hidden fees, and non-essential costs that were added by
some dealers, and consumers lacked price information, listing of options,
and destination charges as they were shopping for new cars.

In 1958 it was mandated that all dealerships were required to place on every
vehicle from any given manufacturer with a recommended retail price, and a
list of specifications.

It became know as the "Monroney Sticker" and was a significant development
in how cars were sold. Fundamentally, it was the first regulation designed to
to protect the consumers in the automotive industry.

History of the Broadcast Card

These small IBM card size forms were provided to the Fisher Body
assembly people to know what interior, and exterior features a
particular car required. The document listed the Willow Run
body number for the car which matched the cowl tag.

These guys didn't care what a motor care was getting, they only
needed to know what exterior trim was needed, interior style
and color, and other things like: a console, floor shift,
special seat belts, mirrors, etc.

The 1969 broadcast cards did list the engine code for
big blocks, but in 1970, this was not the case.

History of the Factory Shipping Order

During the 40's and 50's, many railroads were transporting cars across long
distances using automobile-loading assemblies that allowed them to fit as
many cars as possible into a boxcar. However, it wasn't to successful, and
quite expensive.

Volkswagen designers decided to look at the problem, and in collaboration
with the German railroads, designed a two-level flat car that was capable of
carrying ten vehicles simultaneously. Their design was first used in 1954 and
proved to be very successful. It became the first auto rack.

Towards the end of the 1950's, cars were still being transported mostly by
rail. They were shipped on highway auto-carrier trailers that could transport
up to 10 cars at a time. In 1959 a bi-level rack prototype mounted on a 42 ft
flatcar was also invented by the Saint Louis-San Francisco Railroad.

It was decided the basic concept was a very sound idea, and together with
Pullman-Standard, the railroad designed, and constructed a full size
tri-level prototype. This led to the first the first one rolling out of the Pullman
plant at the end of January 1960. It was named the SLSF-3000 and heralded
the birth of the first tri-level car that was 83ft long, and capable of carrying
up to 12 automobiles simultaneously.

Why Choose The Doctor:

Not only are we total Oldsmonerds, but all of our window sticker and document form templates are re-created individually, year to year from templates
created directly from original window stickers, and other documents, not from the generic, blank forms that are readily available through other online vendors.
Unfortunately these generic forms do not take into account the many subtleties, and changes in using the same forms for multiple years.

There were changes in the templates throughout each model year, and also had differences based on specific build factory,
factory country of origin, and the production date, we always use the correct forms, taking into account this criteria.

During the course of any given production year, vehicle MSRP and option prices did change, sometimes up to 3 times.
We use original period Oldsmobile Dealer Price Guides and a vast collection of sorce material to take into account each year's
revisions, and we will calculate the correct option and MSRP pricing based on your car’s build date.

With all our window stickers and documents, we are the ONLY ones that use the correct, authentic IBM fonts as used by GM for that time period.
We do our best to go the extra mile to research all correct options specific to each model/year, and use the correct option verbiage as it
was often times very different by model, which is imperative in accurately calculating between extra cost options and standard
options for all specific years/models. Over the years we have built an extensive database based upon model, year,
build factories, and import/export status (Canadian, etc.) that will ensure exact descriptions of the options.

We will work with you every step of the way so you may have ample opportunity for review prior to final production.
We keep the channels of communication open to ensure complete satisfaction is achieved.

All window stickers and documents will be period aged (recommended), heavy reliced to preference, or not at all if you choose.
All window stickers and documents will come in 4mil Heavy Duty clear plastic display sleeves.

If you have a complete restoration, survivor (or anything in between!), a window sticker
is the perfect finishing touch and a great conversation piece that will add to any discriminating Olds Ride!

*All Documents will have a watermark denoting they are reproduction.
