Default Replacement for Blue Door label

I seem to remember that there was someone that sold the replacements for the blue door labels:

Has anybody got a name or address for them?
Thanks!

I think Paragon, but you need a type writer to type the info on it.

I've seen them on ebay with a B-I-N of $24.95 and the guy types the information on it for you and includes the clear protective cover.

He probably has 3-4 on there now.

I have scanned ebay but haven't had any luck. What does he call it? door VIN label? door tag?

Thanks for all the input!

Corvette Central # 263037 has them but not the correct color blue I'm told. Also you have to get that typewriter and add the print. Also read that if you have the protecto plate you can use that to press onto the label but think thats for the 70 thru 72.

Now I see why I could not find them, I was putting "label" or "tag" in the search, and all they have is car types in the title. Thanks alot guys, I'll get it on order today.

I'd love to get a replacement protecto plate for mine. It would include all the options for the car as built.
The protecto plate was glued onto the Warranty card that shipped with all the cars in 1973. Probably other years also. The build manual shows them and explains how to use it.

No protecto-plates in 1973, ended in 1972.

There's lots of errors and carryovers in the AIM, this is one of them. A POP NEVER showed ALL options on any year car, only a few key details.

Why would you want one?
