1967 El Camino Fisher Body Number Plate General Information
-
Fremont is the only final assembly plant that coded the Fisher Body Number plate (aka trim tag) with the same style number as the series/model in the GM VIN. All other plants coded the style number with an even third digit so one cannot tell by the trim tag if the El Camino was an L6 or V8.
-
There are more examples of this on my 1967 Chevelle/El Camino Reference CD.

-
Indications are the body numbers are sequential for the particular series/model per plant.

A popular publication states, "On all 1965 through 1971 trim tags, the engine identification portion of the model identification number always indicates a V-8 engine. No 6-cylinder engine identification numbers are stamped on any trim tag." This is an incorrect statement for not only 1965 through 1971 but includes 1972 as well. There are numerous examples of trim tags with an odd 3rd-digit style on this website.
