1965 Dodge Dart Charger

There is way more meetings to attend in US compare to Sweden for sure. But first the car needs to be finished!

I checked some detailson the 65 A-bodies on the meet. They seems to have the anti-coolant decal as well the battery decal on about the same place. That gives some freedom. But does the stamped serial number needs to be seen?

Imet Dave and Tim at the meet too. On Daves Duster is a stamped master cylinder. Was there some stamps on the in 1965?

I'll stand to be corrected on this, but I don't believe the factory really had a preference as to whether or not the stamped serial number needed to be visible. There was a bit of latitude as to where the stamped number was placed, but there was more than likely some sort of callout in the graphics books as to where the labels were put. The stamped number was likely more for in-plant use during assembly, and for law enforcement if the car was stolen, but for the "normal" car purchaser, I don't believe it mattered whether the number could be seen or not.

Also I don't believe there were inspection stamps on single pot master cylinders in 1965. I think that began much later.
