Caveat Emptor...tag swap?

124379N644708

That VIN was final-assembled on or about May 15, 1969. Body tag has a 09A date; 1st week September, 1968. Tag rivets are not original.

One or both tags may not be original to the car.
Learning more and more about less and less...

Wow, that's one way to reinstall a trim tag.

I'd bet the production line ran out of rivets and decided to borrow some from NASA.

That does trump the #10 sheet metal screws on an X77 tag I witnessed at a local car show a few years back. Young man was quite proud of his car, too -
