1967 Chevelle Protect-O-Plate Warranty Card
I have more examples but only list a few examples on this page. If you request help with yours, contact me and I'll be glad to answer any questions you have. Include a photo of the Protect-O-Plate as plants often deviate during the model year.
Note: GM offers 2 explanations on decoding the VIN.
Using the common 13617 as an example:
1. When describing the VIN plate: 1 ~ Chevrolet Division, 36 ~ Malibu
V8, 17 ~ 2-door sport coupe
...and...
2. When describing the POP: 13 ~ Chevelle, even number (2,4,6,8)
is a V8 - odd number (1,3,5,7 ) is a L6, 17 ~ 2-door sport coupe.
The engine designations of 2, 4, 6, or 8 for a V8 engine, and 1, 3,
5, or 7 for a L6 engine was determined by the series.
A V8 Chevelle 300 would be 2, 300 Deluxe would be 4,
Malibu would be 6, and Concours or SS396 would be 8.
A L6 Chevelle 300 would be 1, 300 Deluxe would be 3, Malibu would be
5, and Concours would be 7.
(Only 379 L6 Concours were reported built so finding a 13735
Concours would be rare.)
