In the first photo, the A is barely visible to the right (passenger) side of the three regulator retaining bolts. In the second photo, the A is barely visible inside and below the three regulator retaining bolts.
I have only noted the use of the "X" (also have noted the "O") on cars made in Fremont. Unlike most of the notations/markings/stamps used at the other three * plants, the X's or O's have been provided above the black firewall paint. I have only noted the X and O in white on the '64's, never in red (perhaps red oxide primer coming through). Yours is the first use of the X on a '65 that I have seen, although I'm not prone to study '65's to any great extent. There was some discussion on the use of the X and O last year, as well as should these markings be above or below the black firewall/panel paint.
* The Pontiac Plant used three rubber stampings on the firewall that was above the black firewall paint.

Jake, what do you think the A on my car represents?
BTW, my car is Blue exterior with blue interior and it has a white Convertible top.
And my car was built in Freemont first week of December 1964
And the red X If I wanted to, I could wipe it off as it is above the paint on the firewall and no there is no red primer showing thru.
