Re: Body Trim Tag Layout for 1969 Chevelle
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: thirdpower</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I am considering the purchase of a 1969 (SS ??) Chevelle with the L-78 option (375 HP). It was built in the GM Baltimore assembly plant in the 3rd week of September, 1968. I am still in the process of researching the engine's authenticity but my concern is the <span style="color: #FF0000">Body Trim Tag</span>. Two research books show the GM disclaimer to the dealer in five (5) lines of stamped text at the bottom of the tag. This vehicle's text is the same - word for word - but it was compressed into four (4) lines.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Also directlty below the paint code stamping on the right side is this stamping: B L016216. </span></div></div>
That's the "DP Sequence Number"...it will correspond to Box 24 on the buildsheet. Sounds like it is a '68 tag, which makes some sense being a very early '69 car...
