Default Window Sticker

Have been working on my own home brew window sticker reproduction and have hit on just the right font. Here’s my first attempt.

I am 100 % sure the IBM 1403 font is right. It’s the type of machine they used at GM to print these. But yes- it is indeed time consuming as I’m using an image of an original sticker, not a form. I still would rather do it myself.

I think they used different stickers for different years. Mine is correct for a '67. Yours looks correct for earlier C2s & C1s.
