Did any of the 421 big Pontiac Tri-Power air cleaners come with a decal from the factory with a '421' displacement callout?

I've seen 2 different decals being sold as reproductions, one with '421 HO' and another with '421 GP'.

Just wondering if these are phony or incorrect decals that were simply conjured up, similar to the incorrect Buick-style red air cleaner decals sold by many different Pontiac restoration parts houses.

Picture I found on the web of a 1964:

I've seen old originals air cleaners go through eBay with those stickers still in place. When it looks to be 50 years old it just seems it will be original.

NO. Also notice the fender well staples with no fenderwell rubber,hood insulator is upside down, and the power steering hose is a too long of a repo without the center clamp for the diverter valve. Details are nice, correct details much better

I have a one family ho car. Dad says the 421ho decal was on the car when he took delivery of the car. Not paper but more like foil. I removed it for the last time a few months back for a repaint. I've been told on this forum it was not original but a repro is goin back on the air cleaner. Perhaps the dealer added it. Dad was into performance mods. Not cosmetics.

Interesting.

Would you happen to have any pictures of the engine showing the original decal?

Which repro decal from which vendor do you plan to use to replace it?

I'll chk the laptop to see if i have any. Hated to destroy the original but i had removed it back in ghe 80s yo repaint the air cleaner. It was pretty much toast. Chk out the perf mod i had to reverse. Dad cut out between the snorkels to grab more air. Hmmm. The other attachment has a pic of the royal bobcat badgers.. he had a set and if i can get elements made, theyre goin on.
