Some questions I'm still confused or curious about.

1. What "model" years of information is/are "gone or lost"?
2. Was the info lost for all models (A, B, C, E) and from all assembly plants?
3. What happen to the Zone Office order info once it was sent (electronically?) to Detroit?
4. Was ALL of the information for all of assembly plants and Zone Offices stored in one location?
5. Did the fire, flood, etc., that destroyed those 4/5? model years of production information exactly on the last day of assembly or was there some carry over into the next model year's production?
6. If question 5. is that it happened mid year, later into the next model year is there anything that would indicate that, like some of the last assembly info for say '72 is available on none of the early '73 info is available?
7. With 5 model years of paper documentation for 5 or more assembly plants along with engine, transmission, axle plants etc. all being stored it must have been a huge fire that surely should have been reported in a Detroit newspaper?
8. What was the approximate date of the fire, flood etc., that it just happened to only destroy those 5 years of paper documentation?
9. One more how is Chrysler still able to print IBM cards today for model year cars and trucks before 1968 and after 1972 with the same basic IBM format?

Strange that between the model years of 1968 - 1972 not one piece of information/documentation survived? Wonder how the IRS would have taken that as an excuse if they were audited during the 7-year period?
