the latest judge phs i have is an Atlanta built car shipped on aug 5th.
on a related note i check my gto's and found:
Latest : Atlanta built car shipped on the sept 17th 1969
earliest : Fremont built car shipped sept 19th 1968 (vin is 600ish)
i heard from a neighbour many years ago who worked at the local plant that the assembly plant model year switch overs were staggered somewhat.
an interesting PHS i found is for a pontiac built gto dated sept 15th 1969 but with the lowest VIN i ever saw for a pontiac plant gto (69 gto's were not built at the home plant early in the model run). that VIN would indicate that the car was built almost six mounths before the shipping date. the reason for this seems to appear in the option list: after the last option is an extra line of text with no price: cc 3121 5-3. i assume this means it was a company car given to an employee and the shipping date is when the car was sold by gm not when it was built (note: it was not an unusual car, green automatic with average option load)
