Yes. There there are codes from two different model years. Also there is the 69 Paint code format (two characters) but the 70 interior code format (four characters)

Several people collect VIN and option data for various reasons. 1) it puts package car data (70 Hursts) with a single SPD production into context by comparing VINs to regular production. The data shows when and about how many cars were in a batch. 2) it helps answer the questions of “how...

Thank you for sharing. Every tag and piece of info helps us understand how things were actually done and what really happened. (Not your 'birthday', not your 'born on' day, not your 'made' day. It's a 'scheduled' day. It's administrative in function and unrelated to production.)

Is anyone saving or at least taking pictures of fender tags or VINs of the cars that cannot be saved and will be crushed?

The VIN on a 69 will be on a pad on the passenger's side of the transmission, not on the bell housing. Look at the examples posted in #3 by Mr Moparchp as a guide. Yes, it's possible that the transmission is a replacement and the VIN won't be there but I have a feeling you will find it.

As cars were built well before and after the SPD, use of the Scheduled date is, at best, an extremely rough guess as to correlation with other date coded parts. All we know for sure at this point is the car was likely not assembled before Nov 1, 1968. The tranny may have been set aside in...

Can it be determined what vehicle my block came from? Yes., it came from CL23G9F187893; a 69 Newport 383-2bbl built at the Newark plant.

"Jefferson and Lynch Road plant had different tag coding protocols and formats compared to other plants."

Yes as Jefferson did not code A package codes like other plants did. You won't find many A series sales codes on a Jefferson plant tag (exceptions exist) Jefferson and Lynch Road plant had different tag coding protocols and formats compared to other plants.

Thank you. Yes, the car does not code for the Trailer Towing package so the hitch et al were probably added after purchase. However, it appears the buyer anticipated adding the hitch by buying the suspension.

Not necessarily. Most of the time, what was included varied by make and model. Both Valiants and Imperials had A01 packages but what was included was different. Look here: https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1973/73-Imperial_0006.jpg Did the car come...

I've alway thought on could sum up dating by her roles. The girl you want to date: The good looking fun Carrie from Smokey and the Bandit or cute Gidget. The girl you wind up dating: The Catholic nun Sister Betrille from the Flying Nun The one you wind up marrying: Sybil

Not all options are coded on a fender tag. The general rule of thumb is things that get coded on a tag usually mean you had to punch a hole (tachs, antennas, moldings), weld or attach a bracket (consoles, auto pilot), cowl or dash modification (a/c, rally dash) radiator support opening width...

Here's a good description of the concept from the '72 data book: https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1972/72_Fury_12.jpg

It was. It contains information and formatting not found on other original window stickers.

You’ve really brought this database and topic a long way. Good job and thanks. Once you organize the info, things do start to fall in place. Every piece of information, fender tag and door sticker helps.

This teletype form December 9, 1969 may help. https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipLetters/1970/Teletypes/Teletype%2012-9-1969%20-%20Fury%20ys%20with%20walnut%20paint%20&%20vinyl%20tops%20p1.jpg...

Any idea why it's moving back? I thought there were problems with the Dakota country Fair board over hours and access. The Washington County site was nice, very large, but nice.
