right.
so they were still doing both at that stage. which means the label change and then recall was likely fed/DOT/authority induced? they had been getting away with not having country of origin on vin labels to that point. but the feds must have reeled them in on it? i guess the manuf id plate had the vin chassis number next to country of origin and they let them do it for a while but then someone decided the id plate absolutely did not conform. non contrast. incorrect location. possibly not tamper proof. and either someone bungled it at the printer and didn't print germany on the labels which were now it as far as the feds were concerned. which is entirely possible. or they hesitated. for some reason. its very interesting. germany only lasts for a few years or maybe only 1 on those vin labels. i'm pretty sure the plates the golfs get in 75 for 76 MY have West Germany on them. whatever it was it was going down in that period. looks like they had to settle for writing germany in for whatever reason for about a years worth of car production maybe. would need to dig up some more beetle cab vins as that pinpoints when germany stops being used in international legal terms. |
