What if someone had all the original paperwork for a vehicle...( original broadcast sheet/original sales invoice/original window sticker/original title) and the fender tag was
long gone. Let's say the owner wanted to have a tag made, to reflect all the FACTORY CORRECT info from the original paperwork...is that a fake?
It depends........
Lynch Road fender tags have gate & series numbers that were not recorded on original paperwork.
Windsor used its own codes at times & some of their broadcast sheets have no option data printed from about 1/2 way down.
Hamtramck tags with the same SPD have a code on one car of the same model that does not appear on the car one VIN away even when the codes are on the broadcast sheets.
If I had a car with all that other documentation but no fender tag I'd leave it that way.
I would also consider going to a shop that does engraving to have a 'reward' tag made as mentioned above.
