Book:
"... V8: (M) 1683001-16392956...." "... Fury V8: (M) 16083001-16392956"
Not sure what I was thinking about on this one. 1635 falls into both of
those groups (1st 4 digits) -
Of course, I'd been awake around 28 hours straight by then so that may have
something to do with it. I was at least smart enough to bring home the tag
itself so that doesn't get lost -

---VIN tag reads: 16358329 - no suffix, prefix. it shows "serial numbers
changed at each factory as follows" and lists various groups for 6 and V8 at
each plant. It then gives a listing for Fury V8 serial numbers, and that is
where my confusion arises - the serial number falls into the group shown for
Fury V8's.---snip
All '57 Furys were made in Detroit. Other models were also made in the
Detroit plant, too. All V8 Plymouths made in Detroit in '57 had VINs that
started 16xxxxxx. Other factories used number sequences that started
differently: Evansville 22xxxxxx and LA 26xxxxxx.
So the only unique information you can gather from your VIN of 16358329 is
that it is a V8 1957 Plymouth (no model specified) and was made in Detroit.
