  Is there any place where you can order a reproduction window sticker i.e. manufactures price? We go to a lot of car shows and thank it would be something of interest to the public.

  I have an original "window sticker" or invoice for my '46 Ford Station Wagon. It's not for my specific car but very interesting. I found it on E-Bay.

  There were no window stickers until the 1960s. You went to the dealer and lied about what you would pay and he would lie about how much the car cost him. The best liar got the best deal.

The first car that I bought with a window sticker was a 1968 Mercury. My 1965 Mercury did not have a window sticker.

In the 1940's and 1950s, some dealers provided an invoice and others just provided a letter thanking you for the purchase along with a receipt for the amount paid.

  The dealer invoice I purchased on E-Bay for the '46 Ford Station Wagon is great to read. It was issued From the Louisville KY assembly plant. Base price for the wagon was $1093.66. The accessories were Oil Bath Air Cleaner, $4.21, Oil Filter, $5.12, Chrome Wheel Rings, $6.19 and Electric Clock, $3.35. It also lists 15 gallons of gas and 13 pints of oil for $14.06. Federal Tire Tax was $6.84 and Federal Passenger Auto Tax was $77.62. They even added $10.00 for Dealer Advertising!
