edoptician, thanks for the suggestion of Olsen's. I looked there and they have all the rubber stamps needed for 710/710/712 cars. If those stickers hadn't shown up on eBay, I would've gone with the stamps. But, the stickers are about 1/3 the price, and I try to save money wherever I can. I will keep Olsen's in mind if I ever need anything else.

Try Sharon at Olson's Toy Trains Parts.  She has rubber stamps for quite a bit of Prewar O and Standard Gauge.  Joe Mania also has rubber stamps formerly produced by Jerry Butler.

Thought I'd bring this back one more time.

It appears that the "The Lionel Lines", "Pullman", and "Observation" stickers from the 605/606 lettering sets are the right size and type for my cars. That still leaves the numbers, but I wonder if maybe I can construct those out of other decals, like the letter and number sets from Microscale? It will still be easier if I can find a proper lettering set for my cars, but I can work with whatever I find if I need to.

I've been trying to find the lettering for Lionel's 710 and 712 passenger cars for a few weeks now, but I can't seem to find anything. I've found the lettering for all of Lionel's other major prewar passenger cars, and I've looked through all the websites I can find that have prewar Lionel decals and stickers.

Does anyone know who makes full 710/712 lettering, or if anyone makes any at all?
