* 1969 appears to be the first year that no August dated trim tags are found for the previous calendar year. One August trim tag I've found is definitely for August of 1969 production as indicated by the VIN sequence number.

File Photo

(1) The total production according to the reported last VIN of each assembly plant totals 522,761 but does not match the total figure listed for individual series & body styles sold of 503,352. Of the 503,352 figure reported by GM, 15,356 were counted as imported from Canada. This leaves (522,761 - 503,352) 19,409 of the Oshawa production for Canada consumption.

Caveats and Disclaimers:

The numbers shown are reported last VINs from each plant per month. The numbers above those in red are instances of matching VIN and Fisher Body plates to show VINs/body dates outside the published numbers. The Fisher Body Number plate build week not match the calendar week; meaning an example body date of 04A may not be the first physical or even calendar week of April. Productions are scheduled well in advance of actual build date and given it takes 3 to 4 days to physically build the car once it is scheduled, you can see where the body date will not always match up with the VIN sequence. Obviously the body plates, and the associated information, are stamped when the cars are scheduled, not as they roll by a particular station. Cars with 04A body dates may run into week 04B of production. GM wouldn't just toss out the existing body number plates with 04A just because the car didn't physically get completed until the following week.

In reality, don't place too much emphasis on the body date as opposed to the last reported VIN for a given month. The anomalies shown are shown for that very reason. It does happen and that should not be a basis for worry that your car may have had the body plate (trim tag) and/or VIN altered.

If you have trim tags/VINs plates with dates and sequence numbers that don't fall into the range of those shown below, please email me the trim tag and sequence number and I'll post the oddity. Email it to me at
