Quote: This would be my educated guess - when the call was made to drop the 6-way manual adj. seat option, the existing orders calling for the option were tallied and some extra's added for a final order from the vendor. As the cars with the 6-way seats ordered came up for production, the 6-way seats from the final order were installed. This might also explain why the extra "6-WAY SEAT" appears on the bottom of the broadcast sheet.
Is there any way to decipher the order date from the order number? Not the SPD but the actual date a salesperson at a dealership took/placed the order? I think that's the key...
No, you can't tell that from the order number. Dealers had batches of numbers as did the factory. I don't think I've ever seen the order number on a handwritten invoice or sales contract. Not that I've seen that many of them.
