What is this "X" in the VIN?
Permalink  

I was looking at a picture of a 65 Canadian Pontiac on Marketplace (owned by a member here) and I noticed the VIN tag. Anyone seen others with the "X" like this one? I can't imagine what it's there for.

Dealers were supposed to stamp the Delivery Date (hence D. D.) on the v.i.n. tag but it was virtually never done.

Looks like a '65 Strato Chief 6-cyl 4-door.

 Yes I'm familiar with the delivery date but no ideas for the X?

Maybe a stamp designating that a recall has been performed?

 This is a very logical answer.

We did this at St Thomas, when the cars were held in the yard for a repair or a check on an assembly issue.

One weekend, I was part of a team replacing hood springs as they were too weak and the hood wood did not stay open.

One guy's job was to check our work and mark the cars, after that repair was done.

The car shipping team was to double check for this mark, before the cars were loaded onto the trains.
