Re: [VAC] serial number lookup time...



Wayne,

Look at that serial # real close, sometimes when they stamped them at
the faactory, the guy did not hold the number punch straight, and it
caused a number to be illegible.   In your case, if the coach is a 64
Bambi II, it will be 17 ft and only 97 were built in 1964.  This model,
went on to become the 1965, 17ft Caravel.  The serial # sequence should
read, as follows:

(plant) (length in feet) (4=1964) (1,2, orS) and finally, (sequence
number)  The number you sent,

41 S 1083
6401

Seems to have something missing.   Check it again, and look very close
for an off center, "punch".    The 6401, if below, on a second line,
could indicate Jan, 1964.   There should be a 17 in there somewhere.
Maybe it is before the 41, and not legible.
