Hmm- mine was sold new at Los Gatos Ferrari, and they put little stickers on the inside of each front quarter window, both are still there. Image Unavailable, Please Login
That's why F Chat is so great, it solves childhood mysteries that would otherwise remain just that. I love those "ohhh… so after all those years that's what that meant" moments. Like finally finding out the correct words to a song you have heard as a child, but could just never figure out !!
Since my car came from Pozzi but some later dealer put his own sticker on it, I have now -thanks to Bruno (nerofer) - this sticker. Some may smile about the phone number thing, Bruno mentioned above, but actually that no. is also on the plate in the engine bay. So it's nice to have things correct.

#22641 came with a Ron Tonkin license frame..... I started to keep it as a souvenir, then decided it "belonged with the car"... My other two had the stamps in the Warranty Book, certainly...
Photo's of two Australian Ferrari rear windows. Top is a Sydney dealership on a 365BB called Scuderia Veloce Motors that still exist but no longer sell Ferrari. Second is a Dino with W.H Lowe, a long since gone Melbourne dealer who sold Dino's, Daytona's, etc when new. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Who was the dealer for Italian market cars? No offense, but if I had bought a new 308 back in the day, that sticker on the rear glass would have come off before I left the dealership.
The "Pozzi" sticker still means a lot to most french "Ferraristi"; aside from the minute variation in design and phone numbers, there was also a difference between cars sold by the main dealership in Levallois (a direct suburb of Paris, touching it) which said "Ch. Pozzi / Levallois" and those on cars sold in the various provinces of France, which usually had the name of the dealership itself instead of "Pozzi Levallois", such as "Auvergne moteurs / Clermont-Ferrand". It may seem really absurd nit-picking I know, but the yellow "Pozzi" sticker on a french Ferrari is much more important (And period correct...) that any shield or scudetto... Rgds
You'd be surprised how many of those larger W H Lowe stickers are on older cars, actually very desirable.
My memory was a little off. I remembered it as Pozzi probably because, like you mentioned, it has a bit of a following and over the years I have seen that name often here and there. Here is that issue (which is the very one I bought in 9th grade at a grocery store here in Birmingham) It isn't Pozzi, It's Garage Palace Cannes. What is the story on that dealer's history now? Are they still around? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes, they are still around, Dr Tommy, but even if the name has been kept, it sounds a bit hollow now; I mean, the name has been bought by a company named "Neubauer", which also imports "Minis", etc.. Charles Pozzi was famous because he was one of those few of italian origins who were among the "first circle" around Enzo Ferrari, like Luigi Chinetti in the USA; or, but not of italuan descent, Ronnie O'Hare in the U.K, or Jacques Swaters in Belgium, etc... It was Pozzi, and his "right arm" Daniel Marin, who came to see Enzo Ferrari to tell him that the 308 would make a successful rally car; the old man answered with a tongue-in-cheek: " rallying in the FIAT group is a privilege for Lancia, so I cannot give you the go ahead for this; but of course, I can't forbide you to do it.

"Garage Foitek" Located in Zurich, Switzerland. I assume it must be original. It is a Swiss market car that was imported to the U.S. in it's first year.
I would love to see what the Maranello Sales (or Concessionaires?) window sticker looked like in the late 70's (1979 to be precise). If anyone has one on their late 70's car please can you post a photo here? I am very keen to find one, needles and haystacks spring to mind.. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I guess things have gone "full circle" here. There was a time when the first thing you would do was get the car home and take off all the badges and stickers! Now, you are trying to get them back and paying premium prices for replica decals and badges. You go figure...
