Information card / Order card ??
« on: December 08, 2016, 10:38:29 PM »
Hello all,
This paper card came with my vehicle when I purchased it in 2015, I dont have the build sheet for it but it is a genuine Gt (have checked all relevant indicators).

My question is does anyone know what this is and what could possibly have been on the portion of the card that is missing?
Any thoughts / info would be great
Kind regards
Richard.

The back side looks like a standard 3x5 index card, suggesting that this is not a factory item.

Maybe something that the particular dealer did for keeping inventory

Yes its very interesting, the working out on the back may suggest the price of the vehicle with/without certain extras?
It would be great to see another example of this type of card. Any one ever seen something similar?

Never seem one like it. Often you can find scribbling on a work sheet or paperwork buy the salesman on original dealer paperwork or sometimes the purchase price is broken down by individual option. This was before the feds stepped in and mandated some specific consumer laws that standardized the process. It also predates I believe the standardized salesman sales practices called the Four Square Worksheet that has been used for decades to confuse and mislead IMHO the potential buyer.

+1

What was probably torn off the card was the Original Owner's Address and phone number...

Just a likely guess..
