Was reviewing posts after running down the broadcast sheet.

Uneventful, except the "C06" VON with both "Y28" PR/Company Car and "Y86" New Car Service designations on a LH41B9E.

This is poss a Hodges Dodge car with emblem on the trunk lid.

Everytime I've seen anyone make note of Y28, it was on unique, eye-candy H or S price class, unusually optioned cars. But a 225 Dart Custom? All were 1970 or later models, yet this is a Dec 68 build.

One website suggested the C meant Canadian assignment, but it seems US Spec. No U on the tag however.

Noting that the C06 is separated from the rest of the VON, maybe there were subdivided uses for like-lettered vehicles?

A value-leader display at Hodges?

Did White Hats have special designations?

Theories and explanations welcome, thanks again.

What are the other 6 digits of the VON?

There were /6 company cars, show cars, etc. also; but few survived. They ended up being just used cars that nobody paid attention to.
It would be more difficult today to come up with 100 LA built 4-door Dart VIN #s then 100 LA built Road Runner VIN #s.
