I would doubt that to be factory. Possibly someone of middling wit playing around with W-30 vs 30-30 (the rifle).

The emission sticker OB isn't a W-30.

Can’t be correct. So many out there that didn’t have that. Suspicious. I’ve always been skeptical of the cooling system decal people put on for some reason? I never saw one on an original car?
