Delivery Data Docs - DETAILS?

[Dan P.]

What specifically is this info? From reading the other post on the topic, I take it that this data will confirm ONLY when a VIN rolled out of the factory and onto some form of transport.

No other details regarding whether the car was a coupe or convertible, or info on options, colors, destination, etc. are included, right?

Please clarify... Thanks!

John Hinckley information on St.Louis production date "pay point" from a previous thread

It probably relates to a technicality relative to the location of the "pay point", which is that spot a car passes when it's considered to have been "produced", and the plant gets paid for building it.

In every Chevrolet assembly plant except St. Louis-Corvette, the "pay point" was the end of the Final Line, where the car is first started and driven off the line as a completed vehicle.

At Corvette, the car came off the Final Line and was driven off with no interior in it (the driver sat on a temporary seat), so the car wasn't "complete" at that point. After Roll Test, Toe-In, Water Test, and Final Paint Repair, it went down the Final Trim Line, where the interior was installed (carpets, kickpads, door and quarter trim panels, console, seat belts, accelerator pedal, windshield inner garnish moldings, sill plates, parking brake cover, seats, etc.). When the car came off the Final Trim Line, it was officially "produced".

I'd guess that the last two units were still in the Final Process area on July 31st and hadn't gone down the Final Trim Line yet, so they weren't "counted" as part of July production, although they had been driven off the Final Line in July. When those two units went down the Final Trim Line on Monday, they were "counted" as August production, as that's when they passed the "pay point".

The sticky says the available information will be dealer code, dealer name, and date produced.

You ask some of the questions I have for John W. I'd add: is this info essentially what would be found on the MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) ? Shipping weight; S.A.E horsepower (confirms displacement -- in '65 would confirm 396 ); full VIN (confirms body type); delivery destination dealer; date of shipment from St.Louis.

(Dan, I know this repeats some of what you've just asked; sorry )

If so, this is a Big F*****' Deal (to quote Joe Biden).

Maybe a display sample of the data would help answer some of these questions.

That would be a good idea!
