If you ever find yourself walking around a dealership lot, you’ll come to realize that nearly every vehicle has something in common. You’ll notice that they all have a big sheet of paper displayed on the vehicle’s window that is full of information. In most cases, this sticker is known as a ‘Window Sticker’ and it its inception dates back to the 1950s. The window sticker idea was spearheaded by an Oklahoma senator who wanted there to be transparency in pricing for new cars. This idea then became a congressional act that standardized some of the basic information on the window sticker to better benefit consumers in the car buying process.
