Title: Found 2 more markings - Dearborn D Code
Post by: CW4macret on July 28, 2013, 10:13:21 PM
One is from the base where right door mounting pillar welds to the rocker.  The other is the right side of the cowl.

What plant?  What build date? :)

Mac first mark looks to be a second rotation number (second half of the cars build) Have you found it elsewhere?

Here's another example from Nov 9th (projected date)

Second picture- Is that of the A pillar/cowl side near the door hinges?

Same location. Mine is a June built car so maybe it was number 77 for June?  Unfortunately I have no build sheet and have found no other markings. Going to power wash it once more then blast it soon. I will go slow and easy and keep a camera close by.

Don't believe so  IMHO just the rotation number for that car - so it was situated between  car 676 and car 678 on the final line

Not as familiar with Dearborn rotation numbers. Check places like back of original door panels, heaters, radios, seats and other parts of the car - just be alert

Sorry Jeff I missed this question.

Yes it is.
