[DML] Re: VIN's used as press cars at factory...VIN plate reference

["birdwell77095" <birdwells@xxxxxxx>]

There is a gap in the VIN chronology between VIN 583 and 607, meaning no cars with VIN numbers have been found in that range. In an attempt to perhaps gather more evidence that the 12XXX VIN cars were early 5XX series VINs and were from that range, I've attempted to get the frame and engine numbers of the 12XXX series cars and compare them with other 5XX series cars. I've been able to get a few. The engine numbers of the 12XXX series are in the 300-500 range and the frame numbers are in the 100-200 range which is definitely consistent with the early 5xx series cars. If any of you have 5XX to 6XX or 12XXX series cars, please send me the VIN number, frame number and engine number to me so that I can add them to the list. You can view the informaiton at www.txdmc.org under the VIN Registry tab.
