    Hi , I'd like to know if there is a website or a person that could decode a "protect-o-plate" information ? Here it is

    If it don't read well here are the numbers :

    173 GG .............. 4443781xxxxxx
    P0032 ................ LJ .................... 9
    ME011N ............. 148 ........ 86579
    5/50 .. 2S/0 .. 33000M ... 10/08/67


    86579 is for the dealer code but for the rest ??? I have a 2 speeds 300 SuperTurbine there's a number 300 in the plate :Do No:
    What the date is for ? The day it was "born" or the day it was sold at the garage ?

    thank you
    Donald

    What is the date on your cowl tag? 10B?


    444 = skylark custom

    37 = hardtop

    8 = 1968

    I ( not 1) - Oshawa Ontorio Canada Plant


    If it is Canadian built you can get all your paperwork if you have not already done so.

    Hi Flyn , It's a Canadian car and I allready heard about the "I" instead of the "1" for the plant location , but I clearly see a "1" either on this protect-o-plate and on the windshield VIN but thank you again . I had some info from GM Canada (picture) but anything on how to decode this protect-o-plate is welcome !

    Thank you for your time

    According to the GM documentation the car was shipped on oct7,67 and I do supose that the oct8,67 on the protect-o-plate is the date they received it
