birthdate question
I used the link below to look up the birthdate of my car (#18,903) and it returned a date of July 5, 1963. I checked a calendar and that was a Friday. Would the plant have been running the Friday after Independence Day? More curious than anything else.

Yes, the plant would have run that day in 1963; in those days, only the actual holiday (July 4th) was a "work holiday" as well. The GM "extended holiday weekends" didn't come about until the early 70's.

The birthday calculator had my 63 at Jan 3/63: GM Canada said it was Jan 15/63. Since the calculator is a guess, I assume the GM date to be "more" correct, but who knows? I wonder where the calculator gets their dates?
