I would love to find any older documentation like a build sheet, but from what I read, I understood it is not possible for a Four Hundred. In case it is, please let me know how to do it.

Let me quote the last sentence of my previous post in this thread:

Unfortunately, the Studebaker Museum does not have production records for Caribbean and Four Hundred, but I believe that most of those survive in the hands of P'Info member 56executive.

If you'd like to inquire of him, privately, you can follow this hyperlink:

56executive

..to his Member Profile page, and click on the "PM" button to open a new window where you can write and and send a "Private Message".

Meanwhile, out on the production line, the factory also tagged each vehicle with a build code sheet or strip. For 1955/56 cars, look for a strip of paper taped to the top of the glovebox, but be careful as the strip can be be rather delicate, if still in place, after 50+ years. This build code strip will have a string of alphanumeric characters specific to the car; you can use the aforementioned chart to decode.

Let us know what you find.
