Quote: Dave,I have one question.How does a vehicle get inspected and the sticker not applied ? (if its done legally).
I have no idea why this sticker came with the paperwork and never found its way on the windshield. In Missouri, the facility that inspects the car puts the decal on the front glass. I have to admit that in years past, I knew the guys that did my inspection and they would “pass” the car and give you the decal and paperwork in an envelope. Again, I don’t know why this one made it through without being stuck in place. Another thing to notice is that the date on the license plate sticker is DEC 71. The car was made in April of 1970. I would have thought that there would be another decal stuck under that one for the remainder of the 1970 year. I think that the DOT agency probably issued the 71 decal and plate to eliminate the redundancy of registering the vehicle, two times in a 14 or 15 month period. I am not familiar with Connecticut’s laws for that particular time so all of this is purely speculation. Someone else might have some insight regarding their guidelines for licensing in those years.
