Body Tags

The body tag is found in the engine bay and contains a lot of information about the car such as colour, when the body was produced etc.

Let's start decoding the body tag.

10B - That number (top left corner)  indicates that the body was build in the second week of October (A - First week, B - Second week, C- Third week etc). Usually the engine is build in the previous month (in this case september) or at the latest in the first week of October.

Style 64 - 0667  - That indicates that the corvair was build in 1964 (64-), Spyder Model (06), Convertible (67)

Body WR - 1259 - That indicates that the car was build at the Willow Run assembly plant (WR) and assigned the sequential body number 1259, which means she was the 1259th Corvair built at Willow Run for ’65.
