Verne Frantz's 63 Impala Anniversary SURVIVOR

[Verne_Frantz]

moparts,
Did your Dad work for Fisher Body or Chevrolet? Fisher painted the body from the cowl back, and Chevrolet had their own paint dept. which did the fenders, hood and splash pan. If it's possible that we're lucky enough that he's still around, I'd love to know if he might know the meaning of the very faint "17" stamped from the front in the cowl tag just under the paint code. I've documented many, many cowl tags from these cars, but have never seen that. I wonder if it meant it was the 17th one painted that color?

People who worked in those plants back then are a precious resource today.

Verne.
