Font for New Car Window Sticker

Hi Guys:
Have the correct, blank window sticker for my '70 442 and am trying to re-create an original-as-possible looking replica. Does anyone know the correct name of the font that was used for window stickers for the 1970 models?


Attached is what I believe is a correct window sticker for 1970.


Thanks,

The place you found that example makes stickers so you don't have to.

I doubt that anyone here will help you to create counterfeit documents.

We have had this discussion here before. It doesn't matter how pure your motives are, you are looking to create documentary evidence that doesn't exist. Even if you never so much as think about misrepresenting your car, the next owner (Okay, you'll never sell it as long as you live, so the guy who buys it from your wife) will use those documents to falsely increase the car's value.

Thanks for the tip, but that company doesn't list the standard equipment and options in the proper order as Olds did on the original sheets in 1970. I also like to do as much of the restoration work myself whenever possible.








MD: Sorry, no "counterfeit" documents this time. Not everyone in this world is dishonest. Some people (me, slightly ****) have the patience and the desire and want to re-create things exactly as they were 44 years ago from the factory. No Edelbrock chrome air cleaner top, no headers to make it faster or louder, etc. With the window sticker I want to show people all the options and prices on my car to illustrate how much car you got for $5000 in 1970. I'm driving (not trailering) my fully restored 442 to Cinncy the end of this month to have it judged at the Olds Nationals. I have collected all the right manuals and brochures for the glove compartment, placed all the correct decals and stickers, and even the right hang tags for the interior. The only thing missing is a correct window sticker. I plan on using a delivery dealership titled "O'Donnell Oldsmobile" and a fictitious address.
There are hundreds of fonts showing in the latest version of Microsoft Office and I hope to save time by not having to try each one that's close.

I found that example on Bing. Is it one of yours? If I don't find a font that looks as close to original like the one you use, can you list the features and options in the order I suggest? And, do you have enough turn-around time to be able to mail it to me by Monday, July 28th?
Thanks,
Frank

I have over 200 original window stickers I use to make mine as close as possible. Not every sticker has the same order. And different plants used their own system. I make them to exact specs. You will not be able to make your blank look like mine. The blanks sold today are not exact. Thus the reason I started printing them. Also, I maintain a huge database of dealers so you can choose a real one close to your home or the area where the car came from.

BTW the sticker you posted is for a 69 442.
