Monday /Trim Tag

My brown Sunbird notchback coupe was assembled this day Body 402789. #62 Tan Interior

sunbird 66,299 VIN 566299

Trim Tag!!
06C. June 19th, thru June 23rd, 1978.

Possibly Tuesday, June 20th, 1978.
99-3841

1HM15 A monza wagon was headed down the line. Body 407096 was set to monza VIN#212993 Tan interior 62R 62X.
Gold exterior 62L 62U

Some math suggests about 565 to 570 monza's assembled per day. 2000+ Body unit's.. which was roughly 1,000 Vans and 1,000 H bodies a day. So about 430 units were Sunbird's (mostly) Skyhawks and Starfire's daily.

If wagons -(not counting estate wagons, and there's no-telling if this one was an estate or not. and I have no idea here I got this tag from)
- were split evenly throughout the production cycle this would have been about the 19,895th wagon model made.

Friday, June 23rd 1978..

Double trim tags! Here, we have the unusual occurrence of 2 trim tags of nearly identical cars.. Both Sunbird's,and both the same color.

Only have a picture of one.

Not pictured:..
2HM07 Sunbird Hatchback
436833 - Body Number. The other tag being 430439
24G interior 24L exterior. (Bright Blue)
06D 4th week of June. 02-8200 Day 202.. This one in slot 8200... the other just a little bit before at 7833 some 367 unit's apart.
VIN 568016, was the 68,016th Sunbird.. the other 567893, the 67,893.. 123 Sunbird's apart.
The non-pictured tag also carries special striping package code "98WHT" I have no recollection of this car, so I don't know what stripes it had, but they were white.

(possibly a Saturday shift)

[marco_1978_spyder]

.. build sheet bingo... With the corresponding trim tag.
This is very rare Z01 only spyder!

Build sheet helps us get the calendar day correct. Monday. June 26th.
That being said it shows us that it's very likely that the previous Saturday was worked.
