Thanks for those data entries John.
Can see the same potential pattern of head counting on some of yours that are real close together in VIN sequence.

The ship dates from Zone Lots are so useless its almost pathetic. lol
B151xxx was right with the Canadian Car that went out Jan 23,
but the Pattern Car stalled until Feb 13.
It also would have been a 1B body.

Glad you found the 00103 example !

The 00017's make my skin crawl.

In case this pans out -
Need to give credit to Bet Winner for the original suggestion / thought.

That along with some of the info from the memo , is what spurred me to have another look at the Order Numbers ... again.

GTO JOHN and North are probably going to have the largest pools of Pattern Car files.
Half or more of mine are trapped on a crashed hard drive.

Some time soon should start another thread asking for others to share their Pattern Car data info's too.

Baltimore and Fremont examples looks like the best way to handle it instead of trying to do all 5 plants.

In case it matters - about the original subject car from Framingham,
Since the dedicated box on B-Sheet is missing the 7.

The 000017 Order Number is on the build sheet in a second location,
right along top of ledger it repeats the plant job number and order number
side by side.

186276 000017

All the Fram B-Sheets have that data there whether its a Judge or not.

I agree.
I don't have the cowl tag info on most so don't have any tag dates.
That's about the only dates I have for them.

On the build sheets if I have them could get the body number I guess.

Just interesting how they did it.
