Hi John,
I'd bet you can link the date in the hardtop to your car's build date. What's the trim tag date indicate?
Nicely preserved crayon!

Alan

Hi Alan,

The hardtop didn't come with my car
My car is a 69 (Nov. 68)
But MB could be the color Medium blue ?

Well, see, June 10 was Bingo day at the St. Louis plant. B-12 was the one place MB needed to win, and he wrote it down so he wouldn't lose his place on the Bingo card as the top he was working on was turned over for inspection. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
