Gerard,
Like I just told Irv, I'm not sure how long these nos. have
been on the car. The material is very "brittle", with little
indication of any adhesive layer. Could they be some
kind of archaic decal? Who knows. Have received a
number of suggestions and will try them all! Thanks to
everyone who offered ideas.
Regards,
Greg

Greg,
Not positive on this one, but if it has adhesive on the back, lighter fluid
works really well on just about every sticker or stick-on I've ever tried
to remove. Won't harm the paint either.
