How do I Determine the Exact Build Date for my Acadian?


I am trying to determine the build date of my 1970 Acadian?

What is the easiest way to find this info?

I have my my package from GM Oshawa but it only includes the ship date?

I would sure love to know what the build date is.

Cheers,

Barry.

The data tag will narrow it down to month and week but not day.  My package for my 69 Beaumont gave me production date and shipping date. In my case production date was may 20th of 69 and shipping date  the next day may 21st. My cowl tag shows build date of 5C so is correct for my dates. Third week of May. Not sure why they did not give you that info on yout GM package.

Sorry guys busy day today.
I could post my build sheet but I noticed all the info is already on the registry.
Someone spotted my car at the Autofest 2010, Carshow in Oshawa and took all my info for the registry.
I hope I will get some time tomorrow to take a pic of the firewall data plate and post it.

Thanks guys.
Barry.

yep heres your calandar , yours was shipped Oct. 24th (a friday)so likely built just before that ,im going to guess your cowl tag says 10C or 10D for the week code ,likely 10C because the bodies were built a few days before final assembly

(so theres 3 dates really ,body build date,assembly date ,shipping date)

You got it the Tag says, ST-70 / 142 / WRM, 600906 BDY, TR732, PNT-75 75, 10C

The Tag has alot of paint on it. It is very difficult to read.
What would be the best way to clean that paint off without damaging the aluminum plate?>>>>>chemical paint stripper???

Fred, I wanted to buy his soon after he got it because my brother has one as well and this one was sold new in Grimsby 5 minutes from my house. Darned if I didn`t run into a guy that said he had one and wanted to sell. Small world, cars are very close to being the same

Hey guys thanks. That is some cool info to see.

I wish i could find out the name of the dealer or the city in Nova Scotia where my Acadian was sold.
Unfortunately the dealer was not recorded. :(


Ya you mean there are two of us (Barry Moser) out there?
I am an electrician i try to stay away from sprinklers.
LOL

Barry.
