Re: Julian Date Codes vs Cowl Tag Build Dates
Eddie,
For Norwood, likely the best we can do today is to perhaps triangulate the Fisher build date, the shipper date and to a lesser extent the VIN. I think in most cases you can reliably determine the week of production.
Given the normal production duration from the drop of the floor pan to road and roll you are already 2 business days into production on a single unit. Allowing for any repairs-potential re inspection(s) and vehicle transfer over to the "OK lot", all is left is transition to the method of shipment. Either loading to rail (at rail load out) or direct to trucks via Complete Auto Transport both of these were at plant at the rear of the plant near the Foral Ave gate.
