I am doing a bit of a research project and am trying to determine when the paint stickers changed from Italics to Block letters. The only ones available today are Block letters whether you go to Carl, Peter, Jaymic, W&N, etc.
My 69 2002 and NK sedans both have Italic lettering, I have a photo of a 71 1600 also with Italics. Both 2002 and e9 by 1973 have Block letters, I just don't know when the change was made. I am hoping that a few owners here who know without question that they have original paint stickers can chime in. I am thinking that the 70 2800CS and perhaps 71 has the Italics but perhaps all coupes got Block letters. Here is a photo of the original Italic sticker with the crème colored letters and border. Notice how the border is much thicker than what is now available. Thanks.
