Thanks all for the kind words, the more invoices we get into the collection the more interesting and meaningful the data becomes.
The listing now includes one of every 14 Judges built so this is statistically significant. I have 1 of 6 Judge ragtops and 1 in 14 of all (judge and non-judge) RAIV cars.
I did already have this Cordova Judge in my listing, probably from when it was last for sale (this year I started entering a data entry date but this car was entered some time earlier so not sure when I entered it). Thanks for the trim tag date, I didn't have it before. Only about 20% of my listing has the trim tag date so more is always better.
For sake of saying which car came first I assume that the VIN number for each plant was sequentially produced. This is probably not exactly true but I suspect it is close enough. The invoice date of non-zone cars seems to follow quite closely to VIN but there are enough exceptions like fleet cars, company cars, dual invoices etc that you can't count on the invoice date other than being a general guide.
One thing I haven't looked at yet is seeing if the invoice number is sequential across all plants, if so it would help gauge the time relationship between VIN's at different plants.
