I have been doing some research into the dates on my 66 Convertible 194676S111360 and have a question. The Trim Tag shows a Body code of
S3591 indicating a St. Louis Body and a Build Code of E18 which I believe indicates a Build Date of January 18, 1966. When I look at the Production Calendar in the back of the Technical Information Manual and Judging Guide it appears that the car was built on January 18, 1966. The bill of sale shows January 26, 1966 with delivery taken on January 27, 1966 as marked in the Owner Protection Plan. The question I have is how common was it to have the body date and the build date be the same? It seems that there would be some time between body build and car build. Any opinions?
