These look like nice reproductions. Those who would cry "fraud" need not get upset. The type font that TK-65 uses is similar but not the same as original. The original was done with a silk fabric ribbon on an IBM chain train printer, I believe, and to duplicate it exactly, as I have done, requires a Selectric, 3 typing elements, silk ribbon (not carbon ribbon), and lots of time. One mistake and you're toast, and begin over. It is not practical.
The more research you do, the better the reproduction can be. Not all options are on the sheet for 66, for example, on his website. Some came out late, or were cancelled early. I imagine TK-65 has a list and prices so he can duplicate the costs and words used on the sticker. A few costs varied with model as well. He obviously has more effort in this project than would be seen at first. The price is quite reasonable.

But I know it is TK-65's intention *not* to make these indistinguishable from originals, to avoid fraudulent use. And since they're not original, *exact* content and look are rather meaningless. All the info he uses is factual, however, and they look really good. And it always gets attention at the cruises and shows.
And yes, quite a reasonable cost for such a nice customized document to put with your car!

With the help of ebay and Mr Shubert Ive collected the salemans spec booklets with the prices and option codes. There were revisions, to the books. Some options came along and some were dropped. Sometimes the prices changed due to the federal excise tax or because Olds wanted to change them.
I also have about 75 original examples to go by.
And I laminate them to discourage fraud.

Yes I do, it was 25152. Address was 1005 SE Grand Ave. Portland, OR 97214. Phone was 503-232-4163.
If anyone has a car from our store, I'd love to help them in any way I could with that part of the history of their Olds.

I have no idea where my 69 442 was originally delivered. Any suggestions as to how to handle? Can I show an actual dealership from 69 but without any proof that it came from that one? Surely other folks have had this problem.

Sure you can, these are for display purposes only. You can put Ronald McDonald Olds for a dealer if you wish.

Form of payment?
What an awesome service you are providing the Oldsmobile community
I may have missed the information in this thread but what is your form of payment? What is the best form of communication to ask you questions? I'm assuming email but you never know.

Paypal is easiest way to pay. Email is easiest way to contact.
