First car from Belvidere ***'y. Never sold, in a local museum some where there. Anyone ever see it?
That's cool!
And yet we have members here doing detective work to figure out when the last C Body was made.
Yep.We do?
No C-bodies, same building:
I saw it on a FB post and the museum was one of the comments, I'd never heard of it before. I have a freind who still works in Auburn Hills, (he first transferred to Belvidere from NPG), he's into that stuff and may know.These "first off the line" cars are usually kept in the plant for display, rather than being in an outside museum for the public. When a plant is shuttered, not sure what happens to the particular vehicles from that plant, though.
Of more significance is the "Pilot Car" for each new model year, it seems. Many of these Pilot Cars, with documentation, used to appear at the Mopar Nationals some years. Like when the feature car was the '70 E-body cars or some B-body cars.
Pilot cars, which everybody does, are the first 100 or so of each model year's production. Most are driven by plant personnell/management as quality control checks of assembly and such. Some go sacrifice themselves for safety crash tests, and the balance usually end up in the OEM dealer auctions. One identifier would be their super-low VIN, which many might not notice or key upon when they get through the OEM's auction network (and later dealership used car operations).
