I have 6 '66 B body cars right now. Four of them have rivets on the VIN. Two of them do not. can you share VIN and or pics of the ones without rivets? I grabbed this one really quick. The other car I believed to be rivet-less has rivets (doh). Let me check my backup hard drive to see if I am mistaking it for another car. It might have been a Belvedere II convertible from NJ. The VIN attached is from out here in OR. I can dig out the certicard for this one too if you'd like. lol my "several" has quickly turned to a quantity of one. Reading this thread makes me think it was either a supply chain (rivet shortage?), machine breakdown, or tag error work-around. I'm shooting pretty wide here.

1967 all had rivets. Ive owned and been around hundreds of them in the past 33 years of ownership. You can see in the pictures I posted above, The VIN tags completely changed, shape size, stamping, with added black silk screening from 66 to 67.
This would be an example of a 67 VIN to help illustrate your point above sir.

Seems odd they would weld the tag in place when it obviously has holes to rivet it on? Are those scratches coming from under the tag? I have 6 '66 B body cars right now.
