1965 Chevelle Body Number Plates ~ Fremont, CA. (BF)

Note that although this tag is dated 7C, it is a very early model year tag (July of 1964) with a body number of 62 as opposed to the 7C tag (towards the bottom of the page) that is obviously a very late model year tag (July 1965) with a body number 1354. Interesting to note convertibles do not have top color designated on the trim tag.

Note this Fisher Body plate changeover to conform to 1966 model year style. However, another trim tag just a week later (below) shows the old style. Either this is a fluke, inconsistency within Fremont, or a bad reproduction. Note rivets are not factory style as well.
