Blue certification label 72

[Joe R.]

I have an early 72 convertible that I am going to install a replacement certification label inside the drivers door. I have a picture of an original sticker and the date shows like this: 10/71. The fourth edition of the judging manual says format should be like this: 10-71. Which is correct?

thanks

Re: Blue certification label 72

You are reading far more into the judging manual than the authors intended. The fact that a dash was used to illustrate the month and year on the certification label in the manual should not be read that all lables had a dash. That illustration in the manual was taken from a Chevrolet document, and is intended only to be a representative sample. It was also deliberately distorted slightly.

One should also not assume that because one label in October 1971 used a slash, that all labels that month used a slash.

This is starting to scare me. God save the original cars.
