Need another OEM Window Sticker

The Monroney sticker — as it is called in the auto industry — is named for the late Almer Stillwell "Mike" Monroney, a senator from Oklahoma who sponsored the federal Automobile Information Disclosure Act in 1958. This statute requires that a sticker be affixed to the side window or windshield of every new car sold in the United States. While the law does not specifically mandate Monroney stickers for some trucks, automakers affix them across their entire vehicle lineups. Failure to display one can result in a fine of $10,000 per vehicle to the dealership.

The stiff penalty for their absence underscores the value of window stickers for car shoppers. Of particular value are several pieces of vital information: the manufacturer's suggested retail price; engine and transmission specifications; standard equipment, including warranty details; optional equipment; and fuel economy information.
