6419562 should be 0419562
this translates to week 4 of January 1970 and day 2
I don't have enough data to be sure what week number corresponds to what dates. So it could be Jan 19 or Jan 26. I'll let you choose.
It also says it was the 62'nd body welded up that day.
Ok Dave i think we are on target here, Seemed so improbable at first. but i'm inclined to believe it was FINISHED on my birthdate of 27th Jan, 1970.
Here's my rationale:
1st of Jan 1970 was a Thursday.
As that is midweek, the first 3 days of Jan 1970 would presumably be counted as part of the 4th week of Dec 1969.
So the 1st week of Jan 1970 would begin from Sunday the 4th.
Working down the month, 4th week would begin on 25th Sunday.
Being 2nd day of week 4, makes Monday January 26th the build date for the BODY.
As you say it was the 62nd body for that day, i would think the body was done towards the latter part of the day.
Which would mean the car was probably completed only the following day, being Tuesday 27th January, 1970 - My Birthdate!
Of course i am making several assumptions. But i do think there's is a very strong possibility.
Your thoughts?
