I've got a 1970 Georgia Vehicle Inspection Sticker for my '70 SS 396.

Am I correct in remembering that these were located on the driver's side of the windshield in 1970?

I've tried finding old pictures of cars, windshields, junkyards, etc. and can't find a pic.

I'm pretty sure it was on the driver's side, but I'm not 100% positive.

I don't want to stick it on the wrong side.

Any help would be appreciated.

I seem to remember them in the lower right hand corner of the windshield.

That's why I'm looking for an old pic or a new pic of an old car.  The more I think about it, the less sure I am.

Lower corner of the windshield on driver's side. I still have one on my 70 Boss 302.

I am 99.9% certain that they went in the lower driver's side corner of the windshield. The way I remember this is that I had one that expired (~about~ 1978), and for whatever year it was, the color of the sticker was red. I remember I found a red t-shirt to wad up on the dash behind the sticker so that it was a bit more difficult to see which month had the hole punched in it....  

Never got a ticket for it, so it musta worked!



ETA: my car wasn't as sexy as a Boss Mustang or an SS 396.... I had a '72 Pinto....

Pics of SS?

I had a red with black vinyl top '70 Chevelle SS 396.  Sold it to get rid of some debt before I got married.

Thanks.  I also found a pic of a Citroen that still had the original 1973-74 sticker on the drivers side.

I just didn't want to the car up.  

I appreciate it.

I had a '73 Pinto Runabout back in the day.  When my inspection sticker expired, my dad would just get me one from the local service station and send it to me in the mail.  

My roomate at Ft Bragg, had a Chevelle with a 454.  He used to drive to Virginia every weekend to see his gf.

Got tired of paying the gas $, and asked me if we could swap cars on the weekends.

I was like .

HERE is a link to a recent auction in which the inspection sticker can be seen on the lower left (driver's side) of a 1970 Plymouth GTX

I always liked the SM.   Yes, I 'm a fan of weird cars.  I had a Citroen BX in the Netherlands.

Mission Accomplished as shown by crappy cell phone pics!   As soon as my YOM tag arrives, I can relive 1970, except for the fact that I was only 15 years old.

NICE car!

AND you're in luck, that looks like a white sticker, so I'm thinking it'll be easy for you to find a white t-shirt to put behind that sticker to make it harder for the cops to see that it's outa date!!!!!

Son, your inspection tag is expired.  Imma have to tow your car to my house.

When you get a new one, you can have the car back :)
