COPO Chevelle trim tag data
 

The post about Dave's new Chevelle got me to wondering, and we've been over this info in the past, but the info has been scattered about between a few posts. So, I am taking the liberty of putting all of this previously posted info on one post. So, anyone see a pattern?

Jim Mattison:

Could you possibly explain what the Bxxxx (which corresponds to box 24 "DP SEQ NO" on the build sheet) and Mxxxxxx (which corresponds to box 60 "SPEC ORD" on the build sheet), along with the extra digits at the top/bottom, might possibly mean?

Oh, here's the list:

[Note: if you car is listed above, and you would like it removed, let me know, and I will take it off. Like I mentioned above, though, it's info that the owners previously posted, and I am just combining it.]

Great post Thanks.

Merci! I updated the list, and I guessed on the chronilogical order of the cars. I don't have info on Pete's car(s), but they seem to fall right in the middle of the other 3. Those extra numbers have to mean something!

Asked John Z. He said:
'I have no idea, but in those days, "DP" referred to Data Processing - all the "computer stuff" was called "DP" - long before the days of "information systems", etc. Could have something to do with the data entry process that generated the order info or the Broadcast Copy.'

Makes sense, Kurt. I'm kind of surprised by the response I've got. While no one has posted any more info, I have gotten some emails about adding or updating some of the tags above!

So, anyone else have some tags that could help with the puzzle? Joe?

I added the shipping date of Larry's car above, and updated the page above as well.

Almost 400 views, yet no one is adding any info? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] I bet more than one of those 400 has printed the above info for their files...but with that said, thanks to those that have emailed me info for the list!
