Re: [Amc-list] Door tag from my 62 American parts car

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Joe, the "VIN" (actually serial number, a true Vehicle Identification Number didn't go into effect until January 1966 by law in the US, though other makes [not AMC] used one a few years earlier) was on the right spring tower under the hood. The bottom number on the door tag is the Final Assembly Number, the numerical order the car rolled off the assembly line. The "E" indicates it came off the East assembly line at Kenosha. There were two lines -- the East and (you guessed it I bet!) West lines. Only one line at Brampton, so no E or W. Only one line at Kenosha prior to 1962, so no E or W on earlier cars either!

Hi all, I just thought this would be fun to share (i must be warped)
body: 007762
model: 6205
Trim: 202-C
Paint: 42
and below that:
E013170 which was probably the VIN.
PS. The car does not exist anymore.  Bruce Gasser cut it up for remaining parts.
