Hamtramck tags with the same SPD have a code on one car of the same model that does not appear on the car one VIN away even when the codes are on the broadcast sheets.
BW, Can you explain that a bit more? You mean a non option code? Also since ham had two lines would it be safe to say they had two tag machines? I ask that because I have two slightly different fonts on a few certain numbers on two tags, same SPD. id have to look but the vin is 3 off of each other, and it is not a fluke because its not a rare thing, the only thing I can come up with is they had two fonts, and oddly the same odd font deal carries over to the door stickers as well.
Ive actually two pairs of cars with the vins less then 8 apart, both pairs just goofy luck bought at different times.
I had a new door tag for one made and even ECS wasnt aware of the same day different font deal until I provided proof.
What if someone had all the original paperwork for a vehicle...( original broadcast sheet/original sales invoice/original window sticker/original title) and the fender tag was
long gone. Let's say the owner wanted to have a tag made, to reflect all the FACTORY CORRECT info from the original paperwork...is that a fake?
It depends........
Lynch Road fender tags have gate & series numbers that were not recorded on original paperwork.
Windsor used its own codes at times & some of their broadcast sheets have no option data printed from about 1/2 way down.
Hamtramck tags with the same SPD have a code on one car of the same model that does not appear on the car one VIN away even when the codes are on the broadcast sheets.
If I had a car with all that other documentation but no fender tag I'd leave it that way.
I would also consider going to a shop that does engraving to have a 'reward' tag made as mentioned above.
