I have only seen mine. The fact that it has VIN, color, and key codes, makes it awfully cool in my book.
What do you think F.C.O. is?

What were you expecting???

Can you post the buildsheet and/or the PHS on this car?

I'd say it was used to keep track of the car as it was transported and/or stored.

The 609161 may possibly be on the buildsheet.
(body #, sequence #, etc)

Its similar to a sales bank card. Cars were stored all over different lots for use by dealers in a sales zone to restock their inventory. This card looks like it tells the lot man where to find the car. Thsi looks like the initial one used to tell lot man where to find the car for shipment by rail elsewhere. Unusual piece of history seldom found as it would have to survive lot clean up and PDI.

maybe production problem, damaged going down the line. Needed repairs before shipping.....DK

Exactly.

At the Framingham BOP plant in 1972, there was a holding area for cars that needed repairs that could not be fixed on the line. That card kept track of the car before shipping so the problem could be fixed.

Since it says "GM of Canada Limited" preprinted on the side it would seem to relate to the assembly plant rather than a dealership.

I've never seen a card like that before, btw. Any of the plants I've been in use the inspection/repair ticket, in conjunction with strategic placement to designate where the car has to go and what repairs remain.

My guess is a rail or truck shipping document, having nothing to do with repairs but indicating where the car is staged and that it is ready to go ("track", "tri level" and "deck" sound like railhead shipping terms to me).

I have some others from friends..peopl collect ball cards, i collect weird build sheet stuff.., and have been looking for days for them, I know i have them, but ive moved and cant find them, i will post a pic if i can find them..

The one i thought you where talking about it a long strip of paper, hand written with codes and pert info and a storage lot number. The paper looks like cash register tape, maybe wider....i will look some more tonight..I pulled one out of a 69 Judge seat..i bought the seats last year off craigs list, a gold on gold car and it had WT1, the interior/ext color, a/c code, buckets and console options,all body codes like fisher plant codes, and what plant the where manufactured at, all written in pencil by hand...some neat, some sloppy...the WT1 thing freaked me out..i know i kept them...every one ive found it stuffed in the drivers sat bottom and tucked up in the springs..

anyone else find anything like this?

I think I found this computer card in the glove box. It could have been in their files, but I think it was in the glove box with the pouch and the green stamps

I do have that partial sheet found in the springs of the back seat upright. I have never decoded it, but it has a number of codes in letter,2 digit codes. (ex G90)
I will post that one, when I get access to it.
