John: That’s really interesting. Do
you suppose this has been S.O.P. back through 1955 at least? The ’55-’58
parts catalog indicates running year changes take place after a certain VIN—suggesting
the cars were assembled sequentially by VIN. Anyone: Can you provide clear information on what
the numbers under the letters “SO” and “NUMBER” on a ’64
data plate mean? I’m sure the first four digits are a date, but what
date? Scheduled build date for the car? Actual build date?
Scheduled/actual shipping date? Sequence Order? Other? The other four-digits under “NUMBER”
still baffle me. I’ve heard the first digit is a factory and/or
assembly line number and the next three digits are the sequence number of the
car on the “SO” date. On the 1964 data plate, these numbers
appear on both the second and sixth lines. Temps in the 80’s here today—too
early. Gonna be a long, hot & dry spring and summer. C300K’ly, (sans hyphens & as

second that. Currently when a car order is firm (I have parts to
build it), it is put into the plant system, which is when it goes from a
"gleam in your eyes" to an actual VIN. As the cars come down the
line today, they are built with sequence numbers, in order, but VIN's are all
over the map, at least that's how we do it at FCA, aka Chrysler.
With a VIN of 00064 it is a very early car. J Begian Saline, MI another 8" of

From
my study of VIN's and data plate dates, I strongly believe that your car was
the 64th car order to be received and entered into the computer system.
Cars were not assembled in consecutive VIN order. My
"two cents" Chris the KMANIAC -----Original Message----- Hi
Group, My 1962
sport conv. has the vin # 8223100064. The car
was assembled on 8-21-61. Does
the 00064 portion of the number mean that the car was the 64th Chrysler ( NY,
300, 300H, or Thanks
in advance for your help, Doug
