There are some letters and numbers on the VIN plate of my recently purchased 1966 Suburban that I cannot decipher. They are above the actual VIN number, and I have already figured that out. What does C-66-25 above the VIN number mean? See below for what is on the VIN plate. CHEVROLET DD C-66-25 C1466B108439

I have already figured that out. It is the C-66-25 above the VIN that puzzles me.

I think that this Suburban was used at Fort Rucker. Perhaps it has something to do with it being a military vehicle

The DD appeared on Vin Plates about 63-66. GM wanted dealers to stamp the D-elivery D-ate in there. Not many did. The paperwork handled that and some were dislodged by stamping. The C-66-25 is a Government Contract Number. Military Vehicle .
