Default When was I born and Where?

Dear Forum Members,

I am a 43 plus year old (1966) SB convertible awaiting final touches on my rewstoration to a new life. My adoptive parents (George and Sue Ann) cannot decipher my birth certificate (VIN Plate). Would the Forum members please help me out in figuring out when I was born and where?

VIN = 19467S112281.

I would really appreciate any and all assistance.

George and Sue Ann Schaerer

St. Louis was the assembly plant.

By sheer coincidence my car and I celebrate the same birthday. I was so surprised when I discovered it a few months after buying it. The car was destine for me!

That depends on the relationship between the car and its creator

If all you did was buy it then I would agree with you .............you never went through the labor of giving birth to it.

On the other hand if you have sweat over it, bled over it, suffered insomnia over it and IT has become a "her" and "my car"......... it is because you have breathed life into her.

Which means it's inevitable that it will let you down and leave you.

Do you also have Cabbage Patch children?

I've had my car ('62) for over 37 years. Every nut and bolt has been apart (some numerous times). I changed the frame a few years ago by myself and have done everything you can do on a car (and that's just one of my cars). Even after all that it's still just a car.
