Re: what's up with this door tag?
Fred is quizzing you guys. He explained it to me. You probably have to be a Ford freak to figure it out. Ever see a Ford door tag with that much blank space ?

Re: what's up with this door tag?
89 DSO Stands for Ford Transportation. Was the extra space on the tag used to place a certification sticker or tag similar to SCCA racing?

Re: what's up with this door tag?
Hey maybe it was a prototype ! Either that or the extra space was there in case someone wanted to write "Charley Sucks" on the tag.
