I was referring to the glossary that shows A B C D , and lists 4spd AC with HD STT .
It's not a big deal to me , but many people use your site for reference.

The M13 3spd Pattern Cars cars deserve their existence recognized too.
Just for historical accuracy .
Saw another write up that also was using ABCD styles.
They excluded M13 cars , if that keeps happening they will become controversial cars.
Or someone eventually will think they found 1 of 1

[johnta1]

I had also thought (and read) that the Pattern cars came with 3.55 gear as standard.
So if the AC equipped cars had 3.23 then I probably need to do some figuring or changing. They also supposedly came with the Rally wheels, which I include. (Judge cars)

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Look at enough invoice samples and you will have the correct info.
4spd AC didn't get HD STT

HD STT was $63
STT was $42

There are at least 4-5 M13 3spd Pattern cars documented by invoices.
I probably have them all in my crashed files.
They were HD STT - just like the 4spd cars other than the transmission.
$185 cheaper

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

If people aren't acknowledging the M13 cars
They are not representing the history thoroughly or correctly.
Just conveniently , or perhaps not even knowing they exist.

Your site gets a lot of browsers looking for correct and accurate info.
I'm just helping with proof-reading it. Not ragging on it.

Super Cool
You'll be one-up on all the other sites/articles that make no mention of them.
Style "E" .... or something

Your ship date sounds like a Pattern Judge range.
Order numbers are usually something like 00032 or 00081
Invoice numbers are usually 6 digits

There is a car listed from Marsh Pontiac
03 00019 -- 630257 -- 242379G126052 -- 991 -- 01C -- 04/08 -- Marsh Pontiac Ardmore PA
That one was built early - but shipped out late.

Marsh dealer code is 03 324

The Pattern Judges have the exact same options as each other based on Manual or Automatic

Here is a Pattern Sample with 4 speed
Order Number 00062
Invoice Number 537038

pvp44, yours is a pattern Judge, it is what BVZ posted.
Pattern # 19 (D.O.N. or dealer order number)

A common billing error I see on 69's (Judges and non Judges) is non AC cars with regular STT instead of HD STT. I've got at least a dozen examples. Since they both use the same option code (sales-361 and manufacturing-G80) I wonder how the billing system differentiated which price to charge and which label to apply on the invoice and window sticker?

His VIN and billing date don't match the other Marsh car #00019

He has
242379G130254
2/13/69 shipping date.
And sounds like a Non-Zone , Non-pattern order number

The other car is
242379G126052
And 4/08/69 shipping date

I hope he is able to post it on here.
Can see that he tried.

And it's done.

You have to type something in the reply box also , or it will say the message is too short.

Updated the Pattern Judge Comments page.
Added the HD or 'no HD' on the comments.
Also the 3 sp changed to 'E' pattern.

pvp44, Use the Reply button not the Quick Reply. There is more options.
(at least on my laptop, don't use phone)


The Quick Reply may have an advanced option, don't know don't use it.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

You are the Pattern Judge Man now John.

This is the glossary I was wondering if could be corrected..

[johnta1]

I also added a blurb explaining the 3 speed tranny option.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

I thought I had seen that ABCD glossary somewhere else before.
It notes it was borrowed from another source.

The 3spd cars need recognition so that casual readers don't think they discovered a new unknown if they come up on one.

It's easy to overlook that some invoices don't list a transmission option. ( 3spd )
Some might not be able to figure what's going on at first if they realize one doesn't have a transmission option.
