Yes, a Canadian-built Plymouth would have a "9" in the VIN.  However. a
Canadian-built Plymouth would have a Plymouth dash, not a Dodge.  The
Canadian-built 1964 Dodge also used the Plymouth dash - and interior.

So this car is an American-built Plymouth that someone has installed a Dodge
dash.  (The Lynch Road plant did not build Dodges in 1964 so it is not a
matter of getting dashes mixed up.)

Also, the "4" series Sport Fury was not built in Canada.  A Canadian-built
Sport Fury would be a "3", same as the Fury, and would be identified by the
interior trim code on the cowl tag - it would have bucket seats.

Subject: Canadian vin?



Helping out a gent with a 1964 Plymouth "B" that has a Dodge dash. That
dash seems to indicate a Canadian built car, but the vin says the car
was assembled in MI.

Does that make sense to anyone? Are Canadian vin's different, eh?

Here's the  Vin = 3441xxxxxx

3 = Plymouth V8
4 =  Sport Fury
4 = 1964
1 = Assembled at Lynch Road, Detroit, MI
xxxxxx sequence number

Should this "1" be a  "9" for Windsor, Ont., Canada?

Thanks,
Gary H
