Found some interesting Judges today while cleaning up my spreadsheet:

Looking at Baltimore built Judges by numerical VIN chronology found two odd balls:

First one is a non-pattern Judge with a B148577 VIN, shipping date is March 13th 69 and trimtag is 03B but this VIN makes it a first second week January build. About two weeks before the first pattern Judge. Options are:
4spd, AM, Hideaway, remote mirror, console, power disc brakes, all glass softray, Judge, AC. The builddate by VIN probably makes this the first Judge built (but not shipped). Was this a pilot car for the Judge option for this plant?

second one is a non pattern Judge with a B1510XX (last two digits unknown), shipping date is january 23rd, the earliest of all my Judges of any plant. It was shipped Canada and it has a lot of options:
4spd, STT HD, spc order axle, AM, rear speaker, defog, dlx belts, wood wheel, hood tach, console, exhaust tips, clock-gauges, PS, PDB, tint windshield, Judge, HD fan clutch, redline tires. probably a promo car?

There are also 4 other Judges built in Baltimore in late january that are not Pattern cars, two went to Canada, two to the US. After that the first non pattern Judges appear only after feb 14 ship date.
