Thanks to all for shedding some insight on this apparently much debated topic. My initial instinct was the Charger I saw with the August spelled out and I thought it may have been a tagged / stolen vehicle. Apparently I was way off base. Historically speaking, it's interesting information...

Two more.

Here is one that conflicts with the "St. Louis/Charger only" plant theory concerning a spelled out month for a VIN label. This is the second sample that I have recently found like this from the Hamtramck plant. I have been going through my documentation (off & on) for the past few weeks trying to find the other photos that prove there is no reason (other than speeding up the manufacturing process) for this "spelled out" feature. Using the same logic that some have used for the St. Louis plant, should we assume that the Hamtramck plant was doing this to identify Challengers that were manufactured in August of 1969? Just what should we conclude from this particular VIN example?

Hmmmm that vin looks familiar.
I look forward to getting its replacement.

Hi Chris!
I tried to call you to see if I could post this without a blur on the digits but didn't get an answer. Your decal looks exactly like the picture you sent me but looks new! If you like, I will post a side by side picture of the two.

A couple of people have asked for an update regarding the copycat bootlegger who was claiming that my VIN products were actually being made by him. This "Pretender" posted that I was selling blank labels to him and HE was putting in the production date and VIN information. He also claimed that I didn't even make the "blanks" that he was buying from me! We DO NOT have distributors or approved resellers for our Vintage decal line for model years 1969 through 1990. In essence, he was trying to cover his tracks and mislead the people he had resold my decals to! He did this because they realized that he had charged them $150 for something that they could have bought from us for $49. WOW.....a 300% markup for nothing more than being a middleman! Some folks will go to great lengths to cover their butt even if it means destroying their integrity. For the record, ECS manufactures each and every VIN decal (from start to finish) at our facility. Not one step or part of the process is performed by anyone other than our company.
