Since before I bought my 01 vert I've seen 1000's of pics of our C5s.
I don't recall seeing any with the window sticker.
Since the thing is so large I have to assume it was removed even for a test drive?
Did the cars in the showroom and the lots have stickers?
Where did they have them placed?
Let's see your brand new 1998-2004 photos!

Yes, C5s on the lot and in the showroom had window stickers attached to them. At least all of them I saw did.

Thanks Jack,

Were they on the driver's window or windshield?
I'd like to put the repo of mine on the glass for local shows.

TIA Jimmy

I was at a dealer today looking at the C7s. They all had the window sticker on the passenger side front wind shield.

Picked my '02 coupe up from the dealer Oct. 29, 2001 after ordering it on Sep. 8, 2001 so the sticker was not applied but was with the car when I took delivery.

I was thinking my 02's window sticker was on the passenger's side window. I could be wrong, it was 16 years ago and I was stoned.

IIRC, the sticker on my '01 C-5 was on the passenger side of the windshield, but the dealer took it off and had it on the seat of the car, when I picked it up. The damned thing was so big, you couldn't safely drive the car.

Thanks coia96vette, same at the Chevy stores here. It's the logical choice for C5s too.

Thanks knewblewkorvette,
I know you were vette drunk that day!

Who knew on that Saturday, the world as we knew it would change forever on Tuesday; RIP 9/11.

Thanks leadfoot, Dang things are huge. I may have mine shrunk just to be safe at shows.

Correct placement is the front windshield on the passenger's side.

Does anyone have pics of their brand new C5s with the window stickers still attached?
Phone pics, scans of film photographs or polaroids graciously accepted. 😎

Patches

I almost cancelled my order the next week thinking it was inappropriate to consider such things at such a somber time. After thinking about it for a couple more weeks, I realized I was supporting the essence of our country by buying an American icon so left the order in.

Here you go.

I've been surprised every time I visit this thread at the lack of photos like that. I thought for sure there would be several. We got Bob's, so at least he took one!

JACKPOT Bob!
That's exactly what I'm seeking. Thanks so much.

Thank you all for your contibutions and recollections.
Let's see and hear some more
Day One Corvette Gold!

I love this forum!

Here's mine.


The stickers were still on the car when I sold it several years later.

I can relate Patches, 2001 was a sad 365 days beginning with loss of The Intimidator; Dale Earnhardt in February.
I had my GNs bare block at the machine shop that summer. The shop was slammed with work and I waited patiently as the owner is meticulous and honest.
Then the unbelievable happened. The shop had to gear up to post 9.11 work for a government supplier and my work was delayed for almost a year in total.
Spending time installing the engine in the summer of 2002 was good therapy for me.
Thank you again Patches, your photos will be a valuable reference as time goes on.
