Default Birth Date?

I've been trying to determine my car's birth date. I think it is mid june but can't pinpoint it. I would greatly appreciate help on this.
It is a '65 Serial# 194675S119418.

Thanks.

August 24, 1964 according to the on-line birthday calculator

http://www.ncrswi.bizland.com/bday/bdaycalc.htm

Note, although the date I provided above is incorrect, I'm leaving it here as a lessons-learned. The on-line calculator only wants the last 5 digits of the VIN in order to determine a date. I however provided the entire VIN to the calculator and it created the incorrect Aug 24, 1964 date.

I get June 8th, '65 using the online calculator.

besides my VIN # is 11059 built last day in Feb '65 so a 19418 would have to be after that.

I would also say aproximate b-day of 8 or 9th June.

this is the result from the calculator we have build for the c1 and c2 registries, based on all info received from the various resources incl. ncrs.

Doh! You are correct. If you enter the ENTIRE VIN you do get August 24, but the web site clearly asks for only the last 5 digits of the VIN in which case you do get the June 8th date. Sorry for any confusion.
