1964 El Camino Fisher Body Number Plate
Trim tag layout and information will vary from plant to plant.
Typical 1964 Fisher Body Number Plate breakdown
Do not confuse the Fisher Body Number plate information with that found on the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) plate. The series depiction on the Fisher Body Number plate does NOT have the meaning as the VIN plate.
Some assembly plants have more information on their plates than others and some have information on different lines. Please check the individual assembly plants for specifics.
Line 1: Body assembly date of vehicle. A typical body assembly date is 06C
This production date of 06C decodes to June (06) in the third week
(C).
Unfortunately, nobody can define what dates are associated with a week
letter.
