Found these markings on the back panel where the seat back is mounted.
"VF 1314".
Anyone know the meaning of these markings? Is it a date code?
This is on a St. Louis built 68 Coronet with SPD of 6/26.

the markings appear to be related to the vinyl top & paint

what's on the fender tag for:
vinyl top (green?)
exterior green paint
upper door frame paint

there have been a couple threads with other examples

Looks more like V41314

Agree it has to do with paint and body

My "G" '68 RM23, (hardtop) FF1- green, green décor interior, no vinyl roof, Road Runner.

Think it reads 1 12 - 12 - 40, do the numbers match anything on a broadcast sheet??????

Does it appear that someone reached inside the rear window to write that or were they inside the car when written?? The angle of the "12 - " makes me think they were to the right/passenger's side of the car at the least. The same with the OP's image too with the numbeer's slant to the right as written not to the car's right. Also I found nothing on the car's original fender tag that came close to matching anything written there.

it's a reference for the paint dept. for a paint/selector or spray gun number

12 12 20
roof paint = "F" = #12
body paint = "F" = #12
UDF paint = "G" = #20
