Re: When was my Clipper "born"?

I don't seem to recall that the build strip, taped to the top of the glove compartment, had any date - just model/serial numbers and option codes.

Though the complete production record, kept on file at the factory, would have been dated, only those for the 56th Series are known to have survived.

Not sure about '55s, the back of the clocks that I've removed from my '56s have month and year stamped on the back in ink. That's not necessarily the same as the vehicle build, but would give you some idea.

Others have found dates scrawled in chalk/crayon/paint in various locations such as the firewall, door trim panels, and frame.
