Hey guys,
I am working on another article for HH. I have access to a very original car that was built a bit early, in the month prior to the scheduled production date on its fender tag. Looking at the date codes on it so far has been fun & I have started a spreadsheet to track them.

Not all of the possibilities listed below have been checked on this car yet, but I have seen them on other 1970 model year cars. If you know of something not shown, please mention it so I can add it to the list and / or check it on this car.

I will edit the list as more possibilities are reported.

Thanks!

Barry
