Does anyone recall reading an article in MCG about someone reproducing an Inspected by Chrysler sticker that was apllied at the end of the production line and removed by the dealer prep dept.? Approx. 3'x3".

NO, But my 1977 chrysler new yorker had a small sticker or decal on the drivers lower window that read " Road ready"

There was remains of a paper sticker on the drivers door edge near the vin number that said the same thing. They may have said " road ready, by chrysler".

Wonder if it was the one you refer to?
Any year?

I believe these stickers were used about 1969-1970. They have the curved printing pattern on the backing paper like other Plymouth stickers of the 1969-1970 period do. Note the place where the prep person initialed his/her name or initials and date.

I have seen similar stickers for sale on the bay without the spaces to initial in by the prep person. I believe they are from the mid 1970's.

I think the backing paper is a key clue.

Very Cool! Not quite the same as the ones they mentioned in Mopar Collectors Guide a little while ago.

Those "Road Ready" stickers are late 1970s vintage, not late 60s or early 70s.

I could easily be wrong.

I have several hundred different Mopar stickers from the 1960's and 1970's.

Without talking about bumper stickers, or larger stickers.

Most of the Dodge smaller stickers I have seen have either "Prentice Products" printed or nothing on the backing paper.

For the most part the smaller Plymouth stickers I have seen have "Mactac", "Fasson" or a curved pattern (Sometimes with a R-135) on the backing paper. By the mid 1970's all the Mopar I have seen have had no printing on the backs, except the "Fasson Fas Cal" DC special parts I attached.

I am very happy to learn more.

Here are the backings.

The DC special parts "Fasson Fas Cal" sticker has a much wider curved printing pattern on the backing than the 1969-1970 stickers I have do.

Also of note is that the "Fasson Fas Cal" stickers I have from 1969-1970; examples would be the "Hustle Stuff", small 1969 silver "Car of the Year", big 1969 door "car of the Year", and "Blooming" appear to be a completely different "Fasson Fas Cal" than this later DC special parts. The earlier "Fasson Fas Cal" stickers I have are all on clear backing.

Also of note is that the "Road Ready" stickers I have are based on a stable (Mix of paper and vinyl?)like the other "Fasson" small stickers, vs. the later "DC special parts" sticker which is all vinyl-and shrinks on the backing paper.

These "Road Ready" stickers that were on e-bay are different than the ones I have.
