Default Re: REAR END DATING AFTER BUILD DATE OF CAR

Kevin,
Those things happen all the time. The build date on the cowl tag is the week when the "Body" was built by Fisher, not when the car was final assembled on the Chevrolet line. Most times, the bodies make it to the Chevrolet line within a couple days, but sometimes a body is "banked" until an order comes in for a car with that equipment and color. Or, perhaps there might have been a problem with the body, and it needed rework before it went to Chevrolet. By that time, the mechanics with the chassis were "current" to the time, much later than the original body build date.
Verne.
