I have been analyzing some of the data I've collected from the first two
ASCEs and from body tags I have collected from the membership, and I
currently think I have enough information to answer at least one question we
have had about 1964 cars, and we are closing in on some others:
Sources:
1) 1964 Fisher Body Tag photo database:

added)
