 |
|
Was hoping my neighbors to the north could shed some light on this Canada Transport Decal on the driver’s side vent window of my 1966 Notchback. After a quick google search I gathered it has something to do with the Canadian Department of Transportation. Perhaps it has to do with some kind of inspection? Why the the number 671?
The car was originally from the Montreal area...Thank you!

Hmmm..., never saw that one before. It doesn't look like a government one, I'll guess its from a shipping or moving and storage company.

Here's a link to an explanation of the purpose of the sticker, but to get information specific to the 671 you could try emailing Transport Canada at the bottom of the link. The sticker has changed over the years, but that is an official Transport Canada sticker. I suppose there's a chance that they could search records for why the vehicle required an inspection/approval to be used in Canada if your email (send the picture) gets read by the right person who enjoys a good scavenger hunt for info. Good luck!

I'm skeptical.
That sticker in your link only appears on 73+ vehicles and is always applied to the left doorpost near the VIN sticker. It's also one of those that says void all over it if you peel it off, that one looks like a regular sticker from here, and why would it be put on something that could be swapped to any car easily?
I went and looked at some of my late 60's Honda cars and they have no sticker at all, they were imported privately by unsanctioned dealers and had to go through the private citizen inspection/approval process so if there was a mark of certification not found on factory imported makes of the time and only on tourist or immigrants possesions they would have it (dealer delivered VW's and Datsuns don't have a sticker that early for example). The sticker also lacks any official governmenty devices like the coat of arms most departments put on everything around that time.
I'm still going with a moving company's tracking system, unless someone can prove otherwise. You find paper tickets with the movers company name and a stamped number stapled to the backs of furniture from the time, it's what they used to keep track of a warehouse (or in this case traincar) full of customers stuff.
