Hi guys - does anyone know what these stickers were / said on the the Gatorade McLaren M16C/D?

I think they sat behind the front wheel on the side of the chassis...

USAC/IMS inspection stickers. I don't know what exactly it says on them, but they're the same on every car. Find any car from the same year (I believe the stickers changed annually to foil the counterfeiters) with a good view, and you're fine.

You can see them here when you zoom in but it's just not quite clear enough... ah, the pre-digital days...

I have a set that runs from 1962 through 1970. The artwork is different every year, as Michael mentioned, plus they all have the verbiage of "USAC" and the corresponding year, "Indianapolis Motor Speedway" and either "500" or "500 Mile Race" - the 1966 also had "50th". They had one circular in shape and the other rectangular with radius corners, which represents the track's shape.
