I have an NOS BG one that actually carries BOTH p/n's as I recall....

Hi 2many, thanks for the technical info posted. Would your nose bird be willing to fly down here to be used as a brewster color match and nose bird pattern?

The bumper sticker style "TRANS AM" decals were used 73 - late 75. After that they became stencil cut individual letters in the same font. This continued into 78. In late 78 the new font was introduced. I had a March build 78 that had the new font. I had friends who had early 78s that had the previous font.

.....anyone have a clue as to why the 1973 and up fender and spoiler decals had that cheesy clear background?...thankfully 70 to 72 were stencil cut....although correct...if I had a 73 and later I would want stencil cut decals...was it probably a new supplier and a mistake??

Probably cheaper to make.

...but fugly as sin...I recall ordering blue decals for my 1976 birdless charcoal decal equipped TRANS AM as what was going to be the first of several changes...when we went to install them I was like I can not use these, they have that clear border..suffice to say they did not go on...wasn't the clear backing gone by 1975 and you should have been able to get 1975 blue stencil cut....?
