Hi all

I drive a 69 Firebird. Here in Switzerland you have to approve the car by authority in regular periods. More or less everything is fine but they complained that the "manufacturer plate" is missing. There is a plate in the engine compartment and the vin tag behind the windshield.

My question: Should be a plate somewhere else? If yes, where (picture). If no, I need evidence for that.

Thanks for your help

Have they told you what specifically is on that manufacturing plate? By the name, it sounds like the kind of information on the body tag that you say is on the firewall. See https://firstgenfirebird.org/1968-info/1968-technical-information/1968-body-tag-information/

The first page of the 1969 Pontiac Service Manual and/or the first page of the 1969 Body by Fisher manual should identify the plates/tags the factory attached. I don't have '69 manuals to show you but here is the information on the '68's as an example: https://www.firebird400ho.com/mdocuments-library/

If your car was built at a Europe GM plant, the tag may look somewhat different but should have similar information to the US format.

Thanks for your support. So there are no other plates? e.g. in the door?

I read that there was a decal/sticker GM started adding on the door of the '69s and after that would have the VIN on it but I cannot think that is what they mean by "plate".
