Born Date

There is an Article in Mopar collectors guide dated Nov '13 by Walt Redman, who was there at Chrysler back then. it's worth reading. Yes, When an Inspector signs off on a build sheet, that had to be done prior to sticking it under the seat. The seat was on the assembly line, according to many pictures I've seen, the seats wereone of the last things to go in the car. My Brother ordered cars for a dodge dealer in 1968, and they Input a request for a reported build date for every order taken. The request then came back from Chrysler when the dealer verified they could pay for the car. 99% of the time the cars were built on the date provided, and arrived on time. Only dealers with Inadequate credit, or too small of an order were put back. Costs were a big deal, and there were a lot more dealers then. So if you didn't have a big enough order, your orders were put back. Then the estimated build date is no longer set in stone. I have three cars with the original bill of sales,and those cars were purchased as pre-ordered cars and delivered within ten days or less from the fender tag build date. They obviously were on time, and nobody is saying they were built at 4:00 on a exact day. Friday cars frequently were finished on Monday, or after a holiday. The estimated build date was just that, but Chrysler did a very good job according to many retired employees in conforming to the date. If they were late, whose cars were they? it cost Chrysler money for not producing on time.
