Default Re: 1966 Chevelle build location

Eric, Thanks for the reply. I did not explain my question well enough. I am going to look at the car and will get the trim tag info. I am trying to determine where a car that was delivered new in Connecticut should have been built.....so I can figure out if the story I am getting on the car holds up. The question boils down to this, would the Connecticut dealer have received the car from the Baltimore or Framingham Mass plant? Or other location?

There is no way to know.

Assembly plant assignment is determined roughly by geography, but adjusted depending on option content; meaning - some plants only build certain models within a specific platform (like El Camino) or specific options are only built at specific plants (like California emissions, etc). All else being equal the order would probably be assigned to the nearest assembly plant building that vehicle type.

Even today the assignment of a specific dealer order to an assembly plant can appear somewhat random to the outside observer, as a result of the above.
