1966 Vin Tag

[Erv M.]

Does this VIN Tag look correct. I have not seen the extra date stamps before.

Thanks

Erv:

Yes it looks fine--- the date is most likely a dealer delivery stamp date --- some but not all dealers did that --- sometimes on the Trim tag and sometimes on the VIN...

This car, #7,148 was built close to the end of November 1965 -(last November car built was #7,186) -- so ---the apparent 12-9-65 date would have been about right for delivery of the car ---- admittedly, its a bit tight but most likely what happened....

Others may have better knowledge of this practice --- in any event this is a neat piece of originality---

Regards
Bill

Erv,

Correct vin tag and all dealers were supposed to stamp the delivery date on the vin.

But most didn't. GM wanted to know the delivery date for warranty work because of the time limit.

Isn't that the purpose of the POP?
