Ransom , this isn't a challenge , just an observation and food for thought.
These Bsheets were printed up BEFORE the cars went down the line -
so how would they know ahead of time that something unforseen would happen to cause it to be pulled from the assembly line .
So we can eliminate that variable.
The notation is done in the original printing - not handwritten.
If they knew ahead of time it would need to come out , seems like they would have just postponed the start-up until that conflict was adjusted.
I think it applies to either
- something small during the build phase that can be bypassed and finished later without pulling it from the line ...
- or something after completion . Like maybe going to a bypass holding lot instead of staging for immediate shipping.
1 or 2 of the other examples I have it on were early 69 Pattern Judges.
And we know they didn't go strait to dealers after completion.
But have seen it pop up on at least 5 or 6 other cars that I can't remember what they were. I dont think they were all Judges.
And it is coincidentally printed right above the shipping data.
Not right under the build data.
Can't scour my files to hunt for any to examine.
But for sure one of the 69 Judge examples (Bsheet) was the Early Jan Automatic Pattern from Fremont.
I'm not in position to make it a case study right now.
But it has to be something they could already predict before the build started.
