The trim tag of my early 63 riverside red/black convertible (#1841= 18th of October 1962) worries me a bit. On "style " it show a single digit "3" instead of "63" in front of the "867". The rest seems to be correct builddate B3, frame no. 1033, trim is STD and interior 923A. The only other trim tag I have seen sofar without the "63" is in the 1963 Corvette Shop Manual page 02 Fig. 2 , this is chassis no. 2 and there is nothing in front of the style code. Is my trim tag fake or are there more with just one digit in front of the "867"or "837". Appreciate any input. Thanks Ruud

Re: 1963 Trim Tag
Anomolies did occur from time to time. However,
Some interesting points to consider:
(paraphrase) "The only other example I've seen is a PICTURE in a shop manual"???
What is everone's opinion of the pop rivets?
The car being red/black doesn't exactly help your case.

I have a picture of an early 63 tag somewhere and will post it if I can find it. It was the 63 that was part of the 22 trailer car and part collection that was for sale up in Greenbay a few years ago.

Re: 1963 Trim Tag
That is only the VIN tag and even then, it is only from a certain point onward. Prior to that at various points the vin tag was affixed with round rivets, spot welds, and philips head screws.- Top

Re: 1963 Trim Tag
VIN #1817 has CV Body #1022.
VIN #1861 has CV Body #1043.
It would appear that for the very first time - in the eyes of some of our judges - a human error occurred! Ah, the shame of it all.....If your intention is to show the car at Judging, you might want to copy this thread.- Top

Besides, as I previously mentioned, who in their right mind would stamp out a phony reproduction tag with an obvious error like that?- Top
