At that rate (660/mo) my car (B395011119) would have been built in Sept. of
66'
and sold as a 67'. I bought the car about 13 months ago from the original
owner. They claim to have the original bill of sale, but have not located i
t
yet. Does anyone have a breakdown of how many cars were made each month?
Was your car sold as a 68' model? Does anyone know what happen to the last
car off the production line?

***** NOTES from Jay Laifman (JLAIFMAN (at) PNM) at 8/28/95 3:45p
My car was sold in '68, but I do not believe that any cars were sold as a
'68. I have the original owner's manual and maintenance book showing the
owner as Donald "C" or "L" Hall, who bought it in Pasadena, California. I
have tried but have not been able to locate him in Southern California.
