I think of fender tags from long gone cars like a tombstone.
They are the last remnant of something that once existed but no longer does. It is the only tangible item left that documents the uniqueness of that particular car.
From a practical stand point, all tags are one small piece of a very large jigsaw puzzle. Once you put together the pieces (tags) from all cars, still existing and not, it gives us a picture as to how the factory did things.
Data from cars that no longer exist help give us insight (relative color preferences, option take rate, etc) about cars that still do. Information from these two cars will be added to the database of cars already known to help reinforce and shape what we do know.
