fender tag

Check out the fender tag pic for this ad. I noticed the J25 called out for 3 speed wipers. I also noticed the END. Was there only one assembly line there? I know that the Hamtramck tags use EN1 or EN2. I seem to remember 2 different fonts for Los Angeles cars. Is this correct?

....I would have to question that tag. Los Angeles fender tags generally do not use that font.


....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

LA had one assembly line.

LA used more than one tag font from at least 1969 - 1971.

I see nothing odd about the tag.

70challrtse, I can't see the entire pic.

I was mostly puzzled by the J25 code. I don't think you see that code on Hamtramck cars.

Sorry about that, but when I get back home I'll fix it. I just looked at a pic I have here at the office and the tag does have J25.

I have an LA built 70 Cuda and the font on my tag looks just like the font on the black challenger tag.

As Alaskan T/A said, there are multiple LA fonts.
