Default Ford fan stickers

Why do so many camaros have those Ford fan caution stickers on them, really detracts from any restoration they have had..

Because 1, guys don't know they're Ford stickers, and 2, the aftermarket catalogs sell them as "original" Chevy Camaro, Chevelle, etc., fan caution stickers.

Found that out back in the mid 80's, and they "were" advertised as original Chevy fan stickers.

Charley started that marketing idea back in the early 80's and has since retired to a life of idle opulence.

Didn't Charley use crushed walnut shells made into paper to "make these stickers? The first signs of recycling...so to speak! Way to go Charley!

The same way the bowtie ended up on the back of the 1967 Camaro outside door mirror. Because some Charley errr I mean, someone said it was correct and that was gospel.

Man, between guys trying to sell off Charley's "turd boxes" and these accusations on the Ford stickers, aren't you guys dangerously close to your May quota of B/S against one guy? I do admit, the car ads made me laugh out loud.
