Was your 1970 car built early or late?

Hi guys, I have known for a long time that the Scheduled Production Date on the fende tags/ broadcast sheets were not always the build day, but the day they HOPED to build the car when the order first entered the sytem. So................

I went through all my photos of original Mylar door stickers that I have on file for 1970 Hamtramck cars so far.

Out of 428 of them, I also had the scheduled production date from the fender tag or other paperwork for 302 cars.

Of those 302 cars, 17 were built early (prior month on the sticker)

30 were built late (later month on the sticker)

One of them was built at least 33 days late, 929 SPD with a Mylar date of 11-69.

I will start on the 1970 LA car Mylars next.

If anyone has a photo of any original 1970 model year Mylar door sticker from any LA or Hamtramck built car, please email it to me? sixpak340(at symbol here)att.net

Thanks!

Barry

As I no longer own my car, and the guy that painted it last destroyed the mylar sticker, I can only tell you that mine had a 17th Sept 69 build date and October on the mylar.

Here is a drawing of my tag.
