    Which car does this tag belong? It is the body tag number that identifies which body sits on the frame. John

    Sorry. My bad.
    Note edits above. White leather bolsters instead of gray leather bolsters. OBTW, I love the pics you posted and the colors of your interior. Thanks. John

    Seems to me in a previous discussion these firewall body tags after a while were discontinued as well?? In that thread there was mention that mine was one of the last that had one, correct me if I'm wrong on this.

    Don:
    This info of discontinuing the body tag is new news to me. I don't remember that discussion. I am certain Barry Wolk or Pat Marshall could help us out with this topic.
    OBTW, does the "AC"on the body tag indicate a factory Air Conditioned car? As the number does on the side of the engine block? Please advise. Thanks. John

    I seem to recall that conversation but can't locate it at this time. I recall that the AC cars were the only ones with the tag, but I could be wrong, again.
