Looking at my chassis number, I figured out when my car was built (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) base on this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=129279
It looks like it was built on Thursday June 14th of 1973. Having chassis number 2449628, my car would be the 628th one produced that day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Unless I screwed up, this seems like a big number for a single day, knowing they made about 27,000 of them that year... So, what was the production rate of our little cars at the Karmann Osnabrueck factory? |

January 1972 started on a Saturday. If you look at a 1972 calendar, there is just one day in that calendar week. Does a week start on a work week or an actual calendar week?
My chassis # is 0729595. So was my car the 95th one made Tuesday, Feb 8? (7th week, 2nd day of week, #9595=95th car) |
