NOR body number questions

[Kurt S]

Jeff,
You're missing a key point here. Body # is order acceptance #. It has little to do with when the car is built (VIN sequence).
Those axles would go in the next 50 cars in the scheduler's queue. Since they would be built about the same time, the VINs would indicate that.

So when William said that due to the shortage of axles, "orders were held" means that the cars orders had already been accepted and they had a BDY number but were put aside until the axles became available? Then a group of cars would roll through together and get VIN's assigned very close to each other but it might not be the complete grouping done at the same time if they ran out of axles? Thanks for the input guys, I know I'm not the only one trying to make some sense of this data. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Or am I!

The VIN's may or may not be 'very' close, depends on how close the plant scheduled the cars. Could have orders from several dealers in that 'batch'.
