My MAR 66 car had traces that the decal was vertical also. I tried to forensically remove paint coatings to see if you had to tilt your right or left to read it. My car was 223904.Do you have a pic around that ?
My January Metuchen hardtop has its original decal horizontally. They must have changed decal guys sometime between Jan-Mar
My Metuchen '66 convertible has a build date of Oct 26 1965 (6T08C135871). It has never been restored so I took a picture of the decal. Mine is neither vertical or horizontal, but tilted about a 30 to 45 degree angle from horizontal. It is also very poorly applied with wrinkles.
I have noticed over the years that the majority of the '65-'66 cars that have the Vertically placed Service Decals were all factory AC cars. I have not really seen Vertically placed decals on Non-Factory AC cars. Most Non-Factory A/C cars have the standard Horizontally placed Service Decals. I'm wondering if this was a way down the assembly line to tell other assembly line workers whether the car was and A/C equipped car or not... Just a "Speculation". I have always wondered this.
