Hi Chris,
Are you saying you have production line and shipping details for all the cars?
If so that is a nice resource and gives an "official birth date" for the cars rather than the generic month that is on the VIN plates.
Looking forward to the book.

Kris,
i'd not thought of it in these terms!……Usually the 'birth' takes few days…..occasionally weeks! I guess some awkward ones were pushed to one side.
My list is only partial and with some gaps…but i'm using all I can and am combining it with other records we have unearthed to give the fullest picture we can.
