VCCA Home Forums GENERAL DISCUSSION General Discussions gm factory numbers

every gm assembly factory has a number, my phaeton was built at #2 Tarrytown NY.

Question where would factory number 3 be. ???

I thought it would be in parts books, but I could not locate it .

thanks mike

TINY, GIANT thank you...........ran into a Chevrolet open car floor tag on ebay and it has a 3 as first letter stamped in...

question where did you find that information.

mike lynch

Right there in the link. The Old Car Manual Project.

I poked around all over that site, if there is a section heading pointing me too a list of the factory numbers.............that would be great not only for me but all the others throwing hands up looking to find it.

fresh direct link please

mike

I guess I don't understand what you're asking. The link I posted has a list of the factory numbers. Take the link. On the left you have Vehicle/Numbers. Read the paragraph to the right. if you're on a mobile device it might not display that way and I can't help. The site's not designed for mobile devices. Here's the main page if that's what you're asking for. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/

Am on home computer...........none of that new stuff.

I click on that first link and here is what I get.........

and I don't see anything that will take me to what I am looking for


somehow I ended up finding the LETTER designation code, but before that it was a number designation code like my 2EC... tarrytown NY 1935 standard

that's what I need the info for like St Louis is #3

I don't know what to tell you. That link takes you to a page out of the Restoration Pack for 1940 that contains the number designation of the assembly plants. The page below is what the link takes you to. The assembly plants are listed. Is this not what you see?

The link above works fine for me and the list shows all of the factory designations.

All I see is the page Tiny posted but I do not see a listing of factory designations. Well I do now that I enlarged the page which is rather blurry. Right at the top-second block down.

worked for me, and old scan, hard to read but its there, see attached, and look at highlighted section

also some information here on TFS: 1925-1939 Car Number Plates

It's a better picture if you take the original link I posted.

thanks to all, I totally missed it until it got the YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED attachment.

Somehow my mind blocked out what I should have been seeing.

wrote it all down and THANK YOU ALL

I could not see the factory codes at any of the links posted above. Tiny's original link took me to a yellow page at oldmanuals and I could not find anything to click that directed me to factory codes. However...

1 = Flint MI
2 = Tarrytown NY
3 = St Louis MO
5 = K.C. MO
6 = Oakland CA
8 = Atlanta GA
9 = Norwood O
12 = Buffalo NY
14 = Baltimore MD
20 = Los Angeles CA
21 = Janesville WI

This is from a long ago post, here on Chat.
