Super lift shock absorber sticker, never seen one before.
While going through some ebay fodder I came across this sticker on the inside of a '71-'72 Vista glove box. I know they were factory options on the Cutlasses but have never seen a sticker like this before. I assume it's a factory sticker?? Anyone else ever seen one like this?

The saffron Cutlass in my sig line apparently had that option originally.
It had a sticker just like that on the hardboard panel between the back seat and the trunk.
It was visible on the trunk side.
I guess they put the sticker in the glove box on the wagons.
There was a hole in the floor of the trunk directly below the package tray where the valve was.
When I replaced the panel I carefully peeled the sticker off and glued it to the new panel.
Even though the car no longer has the air shocks, I thought I might put them back on the car eventually.

My Vista and the parts Vista (both 70's) don't have stickers like that and they both had air shocks from the factory( I think). I just put new air shocks on mine (Monroes) and the lines and line mounts were much chinsier than the ones that were on the cars. It also doesn't seem like the factory would install a decal like that, It looks like it was put on over a parting line etc. I'll bet it was put on when some replacement air shocks were installed back in the day.

My dad's 68 ElCamino had that sticker in the glovebox, but not on the seam like that. It also had METAL lines from the fill valve to the shocks, with only a few inches of flexible plastic line connecting to the shocks themselves.
He had a load of sawdust in it one day and pumped up the shocks- probably past the 90 psi max recommendation. You heard POW and the whole back of the truck dropped. He said something about POS and never replaced those shocks.

I seen that decal one time on a 72 Cutlass. I assumed it was original but do not know that for sure. The shocks were no longer on the car if it was original. I know Inline Tube makes that decal reproduction.
