1966 Van Nuys Plant shutdown?
« on: October 21, 2024, 04:55:52 AM »
Wondering if anyone knows a reason why no cars were build November third and fourth weeks in 1966? I have an 11A built car that I think may not have shipped until 11E based on upholstery tag for fold down seat.

It appears there were more VN Camaros built in Nov. 66, than either Oct. or Dec. Seems unlikely there was a shut down, but I don't know that as fact.

They were built those weeks.  There are known trim tag abnormalities for first gens.

Thank you. Wondering why there were way more build 11A, 11B, 11E compared to 11C and 11D?
I'm asking because my 11A car with a fold down seat has the passenger side floor bracket for the fold down seat welded in (as they were) but the driver's side bracket is screwed in. Also there is a factory upholstery tag in the lower seat section with an end of November date on it. Trying to figure out if it sat around the plant for several weeks.

Can you post a pic of the seat tag?
