I bet if someone wanted to, they could make list of paint colors for each year, and the pattern of either silver or black labels assigned to each specific chassis color would become evident. Two different shades of red do not establish a pattern.

I bet if someone wanted to, they could make list of paint colors for each year, and the pattern of either silver or black labels assigned to each specific chassis color would become evident. Two different shades of red do not establish a pattern. those two 75s i put up are the same shade of red. one is black and one is silver sticker. see the post before for DaveB with 75 silver sicker. see the post below with the other 75. the 76 is a different red i believe with its cat sticker. but the other two are the same. i've seen a couple of other examples where both stickers are used on the one color. i'm pretty sure i have come across a phoenix red 74 with a silver sticker, but my phoenix red has a black sticker. silver would not work so good on white. i think it was not necessarily hard and fast with some of the colors and they could use both stickers. i also have a feeling that scrambling sticker colors kind of lends itself as well to security anti tampering measures. the factory might have had a log? does anyone know how it was intended that these stickers worked as a security feature - in terms of US law that is - and what other car makers did. where these a kind of universal sticker or are they particular to VW. there was nothing like them here in australia. |
