Do you have any other tags or stickers to share?
Does (or did) the car have:
front licence plate bracket?
(green) tinted glass?
front ashtray light, glovebox light, and underhood light?
AM radio, AM/FM mono radio (only two front speakers), AM/FM stereo radio, cassette player, or 8-track player, OR radio delete?
Premium Sound system?
tilt steering wheel?
interval windshield wipers?
