Hi Gang,
I just stumbed on this discussion while researching my November 55 sedan.
There is a five digit, 77540, below the chassis plate. Is this the body number? |
Could be if it's really an October 1955 car (1956 model year) |
I'm not certain. THe chassis No. is 1-1018400 |

Its a late october bodynumber, so its natural that it is on a november chassi.
Chassi 1-1018400 is November.
My body # is 1689 (July), chassi tells it is late oval #30 (4. august) .
So my car was in Wolfsburg when they produced # 1 million the day after (5. august)
