Regarding serial numbers
« on: February 04, 2012, 03:02:58 PM »
 Just had this thought; on the date stamped data tags..anyone got proof of out of sequence..??
 Ie say a number with the last 5 digits sa 59,673 in6/70 then say a 53, 741 in 7/70?
 I am asking because at times there were more than 1 assembly line, not sure when that started..BUT IT COULD MEAN that at months end some lower numbers came out later than the earlier numbers, but in the following month..
 If that is true, it may kill  some of my "date made" calculations..

Interesting quandary.   Maybe poll the membership for K0 build dates and partial VIN's and pop them in Excel and see where it takes you?

Good idea.  I say we go up to K1 (inclusive) because there are more members with them and k2 or later there was only one factory.
