Good information. Having this info for the other factories would be great.

A guess may be the convertible top color - but it's just a guess. I don't know for certain.

Except an 0437 car is a coupe.

^ That's a good point. Any ideas ???

Ok here is the working theory I have on that unknown code. So far it doesnt go over 31 and it seems to corespond roughly with the week, averaging about a few days after the coresponding week.

This is straight out of my spreadsheet.

The Willow run cars dont seem to have any unknown info on them.

Sometimes there are acceptions, but not very often. I think it may be the projected date they wanted it off the assebly line.

[Jfreez]

I will try to get in and take a good pic of my tag tonight and give the numbers to you to add to the data base.
Anyother info you want from the car? door tag?....

[skrymir]

Yes please. Vin number is very important to the database. You can PM that to me, since most people dont want it public.

Thanks!

[the FLYER]

you want the vin to go with the cowl tag i POSTed above too?
