    ive only seen painted tops on 71-72 models. i dont think it was available any other year

    but the vinyl top was optional on any year from 71-77, i dont think ive ever seen a '70 with a vinyl top on it :huh:

    Those numbers might be total production between all plants, some years there were 2 producing, some years had 3...
    My brown 73 was built in July, and to make 133727 cars after that would be a stretch, since most plants did yearly change overs in Aug or Sept..

    oooh yeah...does each plant start at 100001 or are they all combined?

    Should I just delete yearly totals then since its not really accurate? not too much time was spent on that anyways

    They all start at 100000 for the entire Ford line, it's the plant designation, and the and the model prefix that is different between them. So you could have a St.Thomas car, and a Kansas car with the same numbers, other than the code for the assembly plant.

    My 70 has a vinyl top (green & white houndstooth), and only has the body color code on the data sticker.

    that would be a rare find. and since it's '70, maybe they hadnt started putting the vinyl code on the door sticker yet :huh: '70 models are kinda odd anyways....lol
