It stated that the Production Order started with #000001. I checked my Restoration Packet that I had received from General Motors for my 56, and it states that the number started with #001001 at each plant, regardless of series. Which is correct? | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 1,159 | Thanks for the catch, Brian. I'll go fix the typo. Actually, the source I used for that info had the same typo  Regards, John

Thanks for a great site!  | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,712 Bond Villain | | Bond Villain Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,712 | Thanks Brian -- The typo was carried over from the reference I used for those years.
As for the Series info, I got most of that from a couple of faxes Barry Weeks sent me. So if I go blind from trying to read barely legible faxes, it's all Barry's fault. Seriously, couldn't have done it with out Barry.
