1964 Trim code date codes
What month does the A represent in the trim code date of A16 for a 1964 corvette? Does A = January? Or A = August? Or A = September. My NCRS JG doesn't have the date codes listed. Thanks, Patrick

anyway, for the 1964 model year, a body build date code of A16 is either Sept 16 (if a St Louis car) or Jan 16 (if an AOS car). Check the body number for an indication of plant.

My car is an "S" for St. Louis built car so that would make it an Sept 16 body assembly line build date. Which is the same date that is extrapilated as the final build date of my car (vin # 100818 = 9/16/63). Does that seem odd? Too close? Or reasonable ?
My engine block cast date is 9/3/63, the engine pad build date is 9/11/63 if that helps. thanks

It even got its own web page for the errors until obviously, NCRS shut them down.

I've heard there are over 100 items that are not as correct as they should be and this is the Fourth Edition.
