New Car Directions

[jkcrosson]

On Steve Watrous' site, I found a PDF of New Car directions that would have been affixed to the windshield of new Model A's. I think I remember a set being on the car that Wick found in the cave storage back in the summer. So my question is, has anyone ever found a stack of original unused ones in a stash of old dealership parts. I would think finding a good original would be a rare find but I like the challenge. Any ideas.

Years ago at one of the National MARC meets they had nice reproductions in their attendance goody bag.

I printed one from Steve's website and aged with tea and coffee. Now it smells funny. It looks old and will be neat to keep in the door pocket of the car.

Don, any chance there was one stuck to the instruction book you mailed to me yesterday?
Just kidding.

I believe that these were put in place at the assembly plant. There are images of cars on the assembly line with a piece of paper in that lower corner of the window.

Chris Haynes posted this image of a 1930 AA that shows it nicely in the window.


You can kind of see it behind the man's head in this picture...


I'm struggling to find the other pictures I've seen. Will keep looking.

Last time these were in a thread I inlarged the photo and printed it on a piece of unrinkled brown paper bag, came out super. Not original but adds abit of original character.

Don,
Any chance you could create a PDF of the truck sticker that wouldn't have the flash?

Don I would like to recreate this one to go along with the two car signs I have. If it is not too much trouble would you please read off the top most line.

I see the first one you posted is dated 1929. Is there a specific one for 1930 / 1931?

Mike, I already had modified this if you want to add what I had made for your files. I might say that there is some differences in these with regard to tire sizes and whether it was a single rear wheel or dual rear wheel vehicle.

LOL. No, there might be some fake one's sold on ebay, but it won't be by me. Barnum definately had it right.
