65 Acadian Canso SD "build sheet"


I guess this is as close as we get to a build sheet in the Canadian cars. I took this out of one of the seats in my 65 many years ago.

Carl,  I found one build sheet under the dash, near the speedometer on my 67 Canso, and one inside both bucket seats on my 67 Beaumont.

Also,  I have the younger brother 67 Canso SD V-8 car with a transplanted L79, like the one you posted of your friends car.

Jerry-

Did they look similar to the picture?

Somewhere I think I still have the one from the 66 Grande Parisienne I had years ago. Seems to me it looks the same as this also.

This type of build sheet are the only ones I have pulled out of any Canadian built cars from the 60's.
Not much nest material for the mice and they're gone.

I just spoke with a fellow on Saturday who owns a 67 SD. Hewas digging around in his and found the little tag like I showed. It was in one of his seats.

Then he found another bigger one with the same info up above the glove box. He ripped it taking it out not realizing it was a build sheet. He thought it was just an old junk piece of paper.

I am assuming that they never did the bigger piece in 65 because I've owned 4 65 SD cars and never found the big copy in any of them.

I've still got one of those hog-ringed to the bottom of my rear seat cushion. I refer to them as a "line 100 tag". They are what was used in Oshawa as a build sheet. I'll see if I can post a picture some time.

Even though my car is a Chevelle, they list the interior as being for 135 & 735 series (Beaumont Custom!)

I found mine under the rear seat of my 66 Beaumont. Great find! I photocopied it, put the original in an envelope and put it back where I found it.

There are a bunch of codes on mine I wasn't able to decode. Out of curiosity, I should post it to see if anyone knows what the codes are.

If you post yours, note that the key codes are on the sheet too so if you have the original locks, keys can be cut from just the number...
