I am kind of confused are we talking cowl tag numbers or vin numbers. I will get mine and post them.

How can the body #s start at 100000 & the july cars only be at 966xx. If they started at 100000 and the total nova's built was 184,000 the last body # would have to be around 284xxx.

This is good info Kim and Ray, I did not know that the body numbers were that low - that far into the build year!

My car was 4th in sequence Friday May 31 1968. I found this information on the top left hand side of my broadcast sheet. With Sunday being the first day of the week May had 4 weeks in 1968 and June had 5 weeks. Not sure if the plant would do this or would they go by work weeks Monday-Friday. If that is the case May had 5 weeks and June had 4 weeks in 1968. Ray is correct on my car it is a 05D car and the fisher body number is 7939X. My vin is 3468XX

Something I was thinking about after I read all the post on body numbers. Did they post date the bodies. If July cars are just shy of 100,000 how did they complete another 85,000 cars when the 69 bodies were most likely being sold late in that year. Didn't they introduce the new models in the fall back then. I am new to all this just throwing an idea out there.
