Thanks to all who responded to my thread about my 67 Newport. All the info you guys provided checked out. Now, I decided to decode the tag on my 65 6-window town sedan!
No real mysteries on this tag, except one: The scheduled build date reads as 609, so that would mean June 9, 1965. BUT, when I replaced the carpet last year, I found 2 paper tags from the carpet suppliers. The rear piece was made by Stevens & Co., and the tag is dated 7/12/65, so presumably the car was built later than it's scheduled build date of June 9th.
Interestingly, the front and rear carpets were supplied by different companies. The front piece was supplied by Collins and Aikman, and is dated June 8th, 1965. Oddly, my father's birthday is June 8th, and my step-dad's birthday is July 12th.
