Topic: 1966 Dearborn Paint OK Sticker

[Building 3]

I know that at the Dearborn Plant for most of 1966 MY they used a white square paint OK sticker with the letter "P" on it.  Should that capital P be red or black?  NPD sells a red P but I have seen a few cars purported to be original with a black P. Thanks!

Don't know as I don't have any examples from your period. I can offer that later cars used a red "P". There was one later example that showed a black "P" so its possible that both colors were used and possibly the colors indicated different inspectors during that production period

You can always just make a batch yourself.  Of course they will likely be more correct/like original but will only last a short time if exposed to water or humidity. Like the originals


Did find an example in my files for a 66 Dearborn car from your cars period but it was of the trunk and the sticker that was typically placed there.

I can interject here... Here's a car from memory... Bob Perkin's Completely Original Super Low 56 Mile Black Mustang Hardtop. What a car.  A real time capsule.  It's probably the lowest mile Dearborn '66 Hardtop left in existence.

Notice the RED "P" Decal.  100% Original.  As for the Black "P" Decals, They may have been used at the same time, but were definitely used later as I have seen the Black ones used on '67 and later original Dearborn cars.

See weblink below:

It has all the pics of the car if you wish to download them all.

I can advise that my unrestored 66 coupe also from Dearborn has the remnant's of the Black P variation on the cowl.

Thank you very much. That helps to clear up the use of the sticker for Dearborn built in 1966 MY.
