Original window sticker size?
What was the size of the original window sticker that GM put on our Corvettes in 1967? This is the sticker that went on the ?passenger? window listing all the factory installed options, and their cost, plus a shipping charge.
I've seen reproductions of these in various sizes, most often letter size (8.5" x 11"). But I've also seen ones that are presumably original that are rather smaller than this at 9" x 6" or so.
So, what was the size of the original window stickers?

I saw on an earlier thread that someone said the correct original size was approximately 10.5" x 6.5".

Window Stickers
Alex:
In 1967 the Corvette window Stickers were: 5 3/4 x 9 1/4 the same as 1966. Every reproduction blank sold is wrong to some extent in the retail market. Wrong fonts, wrong form, wrong verbiage and so many other issues. In 1968 the standard Chevrolet window sticker increased in size to the 8 1/2 x 11 you had mentioned, however this was not the case for the Corvette Window Sticker.

There is one reproducer that does an excellent job on window stickers.

Thanks everyone for your replies - 5 3/4 x 9 1/4 it the correct size for a '66-'67 window sticker!
Good tip too on the Winvoices repros.
Cheers,

The 1958-1962 C1 factory window stickers were also 10.5" x 6.5". I made one up myself using the simple MS Paint program that comes free with about every PC, and approximated the correct fonts and spacing. I laminated one and affix it to the driver's side window of my '62 at local shows, where it always draws a lot of comments. It took me about two hours starting with a blank sheet of paper, and cost me nothing. No need to spend a lot of money to have a lot of fun.

Purely for Window Sticker Accuracy:
The 1959 Window sticker was 7" x 8.5"
The 1960 and 1961 Window sticker was 5.5" x 7.5"
In 1962 the size changed to 5.5" x 9.5"
The format for 1959 is completely different that 60 & 61.
1962 completely different than 60 & 61.
The Retailers that sell blank stickers combine numerous years as correct which is not. There are also format and pricing changes that occur during the same year for window stickers.
It all depends on what you are looking for. If you want a faux looking window sticker for a car show or just to display options and information it’s great to buy or make a blank, and type in or digitally print your own window sticker.
If you want a period correct, accurate form, fonts, ECL codes, prices, etc.
There is much more involved.
