Default Re: 67 camaro cowl tag????

Roger & Mark,
I've done quite a lot of research on Fisher Body trim tags, although on passenger cars through '64. I don't know exactly what the hole in this tag looks like, but I've seen many of them, and they usually have a specific shape, as from an intentional punch using a tool made for it. I've made no correlation between tags with punches or without, and no correlation to a particular body style or option code. My "theory" on it now, is that they represent random inspector punches. Every line practice as some inspection (the quality control team), so I believe random tags had to be inspected to make sure the kid on the punching machine did it right (and the inspector had to leave his mark) before the tag was rivited to the cowl.
Just my theory after looking at 100s of them and finding no other reasonable deduction.
Verne.
