Default Re: REAR END DATING AFTER BUILD DATE OF CAR

Kurt,
Thinking through that point again, I would be inclined to say you are correct. It would be hard to believe they would build a car - then try to sell it to a dealer for stock, or wait for an order.
Let's consider a possible circumstance: If the body had problems that prevented it from making it to Chevrolet in time to enter it's sequence on the line, what were their possible options? Perhaps it was faster to take another partially finished body and complete it to the spec for the order. If so, that left the first body waiting, after repair, for a similar order before it could be used. Otherwise, I imagine, it would have to be scrapped.

This would be a lot easier if I could find that time machine I misplaced......

Verne.
