thanks for the advice, the AA website has VIN door decals, they list the 70-71 as a silver one, and the later years as black. My 72 year model has a silver decal, not black (build date 10-71)

Can some one confirm that a late 71 build date, 72 year model car is supposed to have a silver decal?

Any idea when the factory switched color of the decal, it appears it was not at the 71/72 year model break as the AA catalog suggests.
