This is amazing to me because my father did the same thing and had the same 'C' sticker benefits
He also installed and serviced oil burners both commercial and domestic.
I can recall occasionally accompanying him to his job site for the day in his 1937 Ford that was a former police car.
The car had a screwed in place metal patch where the police radio antenna used to be in rear quarter.
The 'C' sticker was placed in the passenger side windshield in a manner so as to minimize any blockage of view to the driver.
