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.

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.

I know for a fact that screws were used at least till the early 1950's by Dodge and I believe on Chevy trucks through 1963.. you are correct through the early 50's concerning dodge.. i was referring to 60's era cars. i can't comment on GM or ford however.
