That was my thinking.Maybe it only refers to where the sticker is made?
That was my thinking.
The windows of my '87 RamCharger had "Hencho en Mexico" on them; I assumed it meant the glass. However, I did learn that all RCs were assembled in Mexico, Interesting.
My 66 wagon was sold new in Canada but manufactured at Jefferson
All compliance stickers will say MFG by the "Corporation" responsible for the compliance with Federal Laws of the destination Country. In other words this vehicle was built in the USA to standards set by the Canadian Govt. We are Bilingual here so I am surprised it is not in both "Official" languages....
The car we are talking about was sold new in North Carolina in 1974 and imported in Ontario in 1984. Could the sticker have been updated/substituted at that point?
It is very likely that when it was imported that compliance sticker was added
I doubt that. It's a very official Chrysler sticker, and it wouldn't have been added by some Canadian governmental agency a decade later. I don't think that counts at "imported". If I sell my 300 to someone in Canada next week.....it's not imported.
There's a part number on that sticker. Therefore, that sticker--PN 3759157--was manufactured in Canada, not unlike a zillion other parts (both tiny and large) used by the Big Three over the years. How many times have we seen and generally ignored "Made In Canada" (and Mexico) on some NOS part?
Reading about present-day rules on importing cars in Canada, I found this:
"You will eventually get Canadian Statement of Compliance stickers in the mail that you are required to affix to your vehicle, usually on the door jamb. There will be instructions provided with the stickers regarding where you need to put them."
Possibly similar rules were in effect already in 1984.
There will be instructions provided with the stickers regarding where you need to put them."
While VIN tags riveted to the dashboard (and visible through the windshield) were intorduced with the 1968 model year in the U.S., door jamb stickers were in use in the U.S. since the 1970 model year.I agree with the above - while I could be wrong, I don't believe those stickers were in use in 1974. Instead, they used metal tags rivetted to the door jamb or dashboard.
I know they were in 1989 and are still in use today.
It's Canada, they're so nice they'd comply and be proud of how they afixxed the sticker!
