Fleek Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 where are the numbers in your code located on your car? It does not seem to be a sequence normally found on the data plate. Where the numbers are located may hold a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Which one of the two tags shown on the 1957 site match the one on the car?The other information on the tag is far more meaningful than the production code.It's not likely it was the 1889th car scheduled to be built on that day.

Fleek Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sorry, but it seems this quote from the link I provided above is the closest answer. If you read the rest of the statements he made, there are a couple of theories, but who knows for sure? Wish I could find a better answer. " One of the mysteries of the 1957 Ford data plate is just what exactly is the "Production Code" entry on the early plates. After years of studying these entries I have come up with a couple of theories, but to date nothing concrete." His theories are worth reading.
