Hey all. It was my research to interpret all the info on my car's Fisher
body tag that led me to this group in the first place. Now that I understand
all the info the tag contains I'm left with a new mystery. Here goes:
My car is a '66 Monza coupe
My car's VIN indicates it is the 79,967 vehicle built at Willow Run that
year.
Its body tag shows it as body #28147, built first week of May (so I figure
it was about 3/4 of the way into that year's production)
Published figures show 103,743 corvairs built at ALL US plants that year, of
which 37,605 were Monza coupes.
So...what I can't figure is:
Since it's kinda unlikely that 51820 cars (the difference between the VIV
and body tag number) built at Willow Run that year didn't have bodies, I
figure the body number must indicate Monza coupes only, right??
But supposedly only at Willow Run? If that's true, how to explain that body
#28147at Willow Run puts it at 3/4 of TOTAL production for Monza coupes at
ALL US plants that year, at about the 3/4 date in the production year (or that
VIN 79967 is also about 3/4 of the year's TOTAL production of 103,743
Corvairs, not just at WRN?)
The kinda mystery I love to solve. Who can help?
Thanks, Matt M.
