Question in my mind is since they still appear in photos, were they supposed to be a long term thing or just supposed to stay until the operator was familiar with a feature.
Undoubtedly I think they were supposed to be temporary. With no disrespect to those who want to re-add them to their cars now, they were honestly very tacky to have on a luxury car and I'm confident Packard expected owners to remove them at their convenience. For example, the
label that was posted recently that was on some 30's cars, reminding the owner to read the manual, plastered directly over the clock face. Surely they did not expect that one to stay for long.
Also, I know there are various home-brew solutions for printing labels, but the difficulty is generating an image of satisfactory authenticity off of some random photo of an ancient label. Similar to how making a convincing reproduction of nearly any car part is harder than it looks.
