Reply to "anyone have vintage engine compartment photos to share?"

(years later, but some other pictures of Stickers on '1046...) I've seen the air tire pressure on other cars, but on 1046 it was located not only on the glove box but also on the drivers door (8ma978 also has the tire pressure sticker on the door). I've seen one or two of these moved to the inside of the glove box.

  Previous owners had really preserved 1046 (esp, the disclaimer stickers on the bulkhead glass and on the windshield (I've only seen the bulkhead sticker on  '936, '1006, '1010, 1046), and have never seen another goose with the windshield sticker). The bulkhead sticker was signed "Alberto" on '1046. The date is not shown on '936, but is September 1969 on both '1006/1010 and '1046---I'd believe this was only when the stickers were prepared, I don't think its likely that '1046 was produced in the same month as '1006 (oh, wouldn't it be nice if someone who has the history of DeTomaso would publish it...).

There was not a sticker (such as repo'd by Hall) with warning/disclaimer on the lid to the brake reservoirs on 1046. My guess is that the vin plate (the big aluminum plate Mobil advertisement) started around the late 8ma700's and the sticker on the brake reservoir door came down.  

Given the length of preservation, I'd also be inclined to think this Mobil antifreeze decal (anticongelante) was original...
