And I used to own vin 00570,But how can you start at vin # 500 and call vin # 1897(it should be car # 1397 built and vin 1500 should have been the 1000th car) the 1000th car,and then have vin # 910 on the first load of cars to come off the boat. We know the first 150-170 cars or so were not shipped.But what happened after that.Again if you do simple math it suggests that Vin # 897 was the first car to be shipped.Sure there could have been a straggler or two before vin 897 that went on the ship,with the first shipment,but again how could 396 cars be unaccounted for in early production. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, PAUL LEGUTKI <legutki@...> wrote: > > Looks like Josh Haldeman's car is VIN 909.
